It is simply complaining that the passwords are not matching under authpwd. If the user exists in the local password file then it falls through to authshadow and works.

You should be using authpam, which will work for both local and LDAP users. If you don't have libauthpam.so with your other courier-authlib modules, then you may need to install the pam-devel rpm, and recompile courier-authlib.

Gordon many thanks for the rapid response.

Installing the pam-devel rpm and re-making courier-authlib solved the problem. The authentication works fine.
