My REDHAT 7.2 machine uses the stock pop3 and imapd /etc/pam.d/ files as created via the rpm without a hitch.
Which means they are of the following form (you didn't list this configuration as a tested method): auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth Explicit pathes may be required, but were not for my installation. You will find them in the /lib/security directory though if you care to explicitly define them. Hope this helps. Aaron D.
