I hope someone can help me. I've struggling with this for the past day. I'm trying to rebuild (due to HD
failure) my mail server. It is OpenBSD 3.9, with qmail, vpopmail, and
courier-imap. I've go qmail and vpopmail, seemingly working, email is coming in
and there are no errors in the maillog. I'm at the point where I'm
building/installing courier-authlib and I'm having problems. I'll try to be as
specific as I can.

vpopmail is basic, it doesn't use any DB or LDAP backend. I want courier-imap to
use vchkpw as it's authentication backend. Here is the configure command:

./configure --without-authdaemon --without-authcustom --without-authcram
--without-authuserdb --without-authshadow --without-authpwd
--enable-ltdl-install=no MAKE=gmake LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

The configure finds the installed libtool, gdbm, etc. and builds okay. However
when I start up the daemon it is not working. I wish I could be more specific,
but the logs don't reveal much useful information.

I turned on DEBUG=1 and on startup the daemon I get the following in my logs: Jul 30 12:30:12 disillusion authdaemond: modules="authvchkpw", daemons=5 Jul 30 12:30:12 disillusion authdaemond: Installing libauthvchkpw Jul 30 12:30:12 disillusion authdaemond: File not found

Very useful. Which file was not found? libauthvchkpw? The only thing I could find in relation to that was: # find / -name "*libauthvchkpw*" /home/jmurray/bin/courier-authlib-0.58/.libs/libauthvchkpw.a /home/jmurray/bin/courier-authlib-0.58/.libs/libauthvchkpw.lai /home/jmurray/bin/courier-authlib-0.58/.libs/libauthvchkpw.la /home/jmurray/bin/courier-authlib-0.58/libauthvchkpw.la /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.so.0.0T /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.exp /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.so.0.0 /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.a /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.lai /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/.libs/libauthvchkpw.la /home/jmurray/src/courier-authlib-0.53/libauthvchkpw.la

The files in /home/jmurray/src are from my previous installation which worked.
The .so doesn't seem to be getting built and I have no idea why.

When I attempt an authtest it fails.

# authtest jmur...@disillusion.ca Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted

The logs show: Jul 30 12:52:36 disillusion authdaemond: received userid lookup request:
jmur...@disillusion.ca Jul 30 12:52:36 disillusion authdaemond: FAIL, all modules rejected

Any idea/hints/suggestions would be much appreciated.
