Subject:[courier-users] authentication problems with vanilla Debian Courier-IMAP installActions...

I'm having some trouble getting my install of courier-imap working.

I'm attempting to setup courier-imap to use authpam via the authdameon to do authentication based on my shell accounts. The box is a fresh install of Debian stable, and courier is the only service being run on the box.

Looks like the Debian stable versions of the packages is: courier: 0.37.3 courier-imap: 1.4.3

The problem is I can't login. When I try:

courierauthtest kellan

I get back the expected uid, gid, and home dir info, but if I try:

courierauthtest kellan <passwd>

I get: Temporary authentication failure from module authdaemon Authentication FAILED!

So it seems like the authdaemon is successfully talking to PAM, at least enough to figure out who I am, but not enough to validate my password.

in /etc/courier/authdaemonrc I've got authmodulelist="authpam", I've got /etc/pam.d/imap configured, not sure what other info to include, or what could be wrong, as this seems like the simplest possible courier install.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Kellan
