I recently compiled and installed Courier on a Mac OSX 10.3.9 system,

a tutorial that makes reference to the 'authdaemonrc' and 'authmysqlrc'
files within the '/etc/courier' directory, but there isn't
an '/etc/courier' directory on the system. There is a file called
'authdaemonrc' on the system in the '/usr/local/etc/authlib/' directory,
but the only place where the 'authmysqlrc' file exists in the the
directory where I originally un-tarred the 'courier-authlib-0.58' package.
Can anyone provide any insight? Did something go wrong with my
installation, or am I just making some other beginner's mistake?
The tutorial mostly likely is covering an older version of Courier that
was from a time before the Courier authentication module was split out
into its own distribution, courier-authlib. The names of the config
files are still the same, but all of the authentication-related
configuration is now found in /etc/authlib, or /usr/local/etc/authlib in
your installation.
