When a username/password lookup succeeds, my code fills in a struct authinfo with the users name (i.e. foo if his mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]), the path to his Maildir and homedir, the virtual user uid and gid. This is then passed to the callback function provided as a parameter to the auth_custom function i.e. result = (* callback) (&authinfo, callback_arg) ; The auth_custom function then returns the result to the caller. Works fine for IMAP and POP3 users (in any one of many domains), so it looks like your custom code may be missing some of these steps. Perhaps posting your auth_custom function would help us. -Adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
