imapd does not read userdb but contacts authdaemond which in turn reads userdbshadow.dat and (wont log errors anyway...) /etc/userdb/* is not read by any daemons, only by the makeuserdb utility which in turn generates userdb.dat and userdbshadow.dat.

The message indicates you are not using the authdaemond-enabled imapd but an older version which was compiled --without-authdaemon.

I am sure I do. Authdaemond is running when I do a ps -ef.

Check the timestamp on the binary, make shure authdaemond.plain is running, and use the authtest utility.

I did that ! It is running ! Authtest fails and I have no way of determing why.

postnet[root:/usr/local/src/courier-imap-3.0.3/authlib]./authtest -m authuserdb guest Authentication FAILED!

You could also configure everything --without-authdaemon, but then you have to set userdbshadow.dat world readable for imapd.

Not really what I have in mind.
