This is about authdaemon with sqwbmail - I'm posting this to the courier 
group because I've seen authdaemon appears to be used by other courier 
applications too - so I'm hoping for a broader group of people with 
authdaemon experience...

I'm using sqwebmail with vpopmail 5.2 (passwords in mysql through vchkpw) 
and authdaemon(.plain) on FreeBSD 4.2. Everything worked fine - at least I 
thought. I've noticed that after a while I just couldn't login anymore and 
I was pretty sure the password was right (even reset it with vpasswd ). So 
I started some debugging with authtest:


customer /etc/rc.d# /usr/src/sqwebmail-3.3.3.20020418/authlib/authtest 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <password>
Authenticated: module authdaemon
[...]
works

customer /etc/rc.d# /usr/src/sqwebmail-3.3.3.20020418/authlib/authtest 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <password>
Authenticated: module authdaemon
[...]
works

customer /etc/rc.d# /usr/src/sqwebmail-3.3.3.20020418/authlib/authtest 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <password>
Authenticated: module authdaemon
[...]
works

customer /etc/rc.d# /usr/src/sqwebmail-3.3.3.20020418/authlib/authtest 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <passwort>
Authentication FAILED!

suddenly stops working

restarting the daemon will make it work again - for a while - ... until I 
try  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (works) then [EMAIL PROTECTED] (works) and 
back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (fails). I've reduced the number of daemons 
to 1 (two daemons run weird enough even when set to 0) - so that doesn't 
appear to make a difference. I went back from the snapshot to the 3.3.3 
stable release - same problem.

I then kicked out authdaemon altogether configuring with 
--without-authdaemon and straight with --with-module=authvchkpw. That works 
fine. Obviously I can't use authtest to check but I can't reproduce the 
error on the web interface anymore...

Very weird - has anyone ideas what this could be - I'm willing to do some 
more debugging. Should I even bother trying to get authdaemon running - 
will it make a big performance difference when intented for a larger usergroup?

Thx for your advise,
Gregor
