Why does this module does not use "libnss", which does the job for /etc/passwd. I think, authpam should use libnss.

The documentation is slightly misleading. The authpam module does use libc's getpwnam() function, and thereby gets info from sources configured in the nsswitch.conf file.

Adding "libnss" will solv all problems, because I am using "libnss-pgsql". And because "courier" does not support it, I need to sync several times daily 86 Mailservers manualy with this stupid /etc/passwd.

That should not be the case. If "getent passwd <username" works on those systems, then Courier should function normally using the authpam module. You should not need to sync the passwd file to those systems.
