Ah, well that might explain the problems. If sqwebmail doesn't come from
exactly the same package repository that you used for everything else, then
it's quite likely that it won't talk to your authentication daemon; it may
expect the socket to be in a different directory, for instance.
I have to say I'm
learning to despise Debian. I didn't choose this as my OS--I inherited it.
Why on earth would anyone choose an operating system that uses old software
packages?
Well, you can argue the difference between "old" and "stable". Somebody told
me the Debian peeps were still backporting bugfixes to Mozilla 1.0.2... but
equally you could argue the same about Red Hat Enterprise 4 / CentOS 4,
which still has a 2.6.9 kernel and OpenOffice one-point-something. Lots of
people use that, or even pay for it.
My only direct experience of something Debian-like is Ubuntu (6.06), and I
have to say I'm extremely impressed. They've taken the good stuff from
Debian's package management system, and combined it with a reasonable policy
on software versions. It's also a doddle to test and install - the CD is
both a live run-from-CD environment and an installer.
