Dear Tim,

As Sam and others have mentioned, this error means that authdaemon isn't
working.  Authdaemon uses a socket for communication with other programs.  Given
your configuration, it's probably in "/var/run/courier/authdaemon/".  That
socket doesn't exist (that's the error message), so imap can't talk to
authdaemon on a non-existent socket. :-)

Since your 'ps' shows a very old version of authdaemon running, you probably
need to get a new version of authdaemon running, one that matches your running
version of courier-imap.

Your MySQL is most likely fine.  Authdaemon is the problem.

Unfortunately, in your case, there's nothing to log because nothing is
happening.  Imap can't connect to the authdaemon socket and "talk" to it.  So
imap logs that fact - there's not much else it can log.

Where did you get courier-imap and authdaemon?  If you compiled them yourself,
go back and get the latest versions of BOTH authdaemon and courier-imap and
compile them again.  If you got them from a repository, I would remove them and
make sure you don't have any older copies running around.  Then reinstall and
make sure you get a fairly recent version.  (You probably don't want to run this
from a Redhat 9 repository.) ;-)
