I'm having some trouble getting courier imap/pop3 to work with PADL, an NSS replacement library. Does courier with the authshadow module read directly from /etc/shadow or something? It seems that by tailing the ldap log on the ldap server that when a user tries to authenticate to the pop3 server, that ldap is never even referenced, leading me to believe that courier is avoiding doing the proper authentication.

Yes. Authshadow will only look in the /etc/shadow file. If you want to do ldap auth use the ldap authentication module, or if you have PAM setup to do ldap lookup, you can use authpam as well. You should probably never use authshadow or authpasswd, at least on a linux system.
