Hi Aaron,

due to some integration problems we removed the seperate authentication support for the 1.0 release - that is, only one database connection is created. Some code needs to be added to make this fully transparent in a way that given a compiler option the build is for a separate database system or not. I do hope to find time for this somewhere soon but some urgent problems (segfaults, cpu hogging bugs) have priority now (besides all the other things we have to do here at IC&S ;-) )

regards roel

It looks like not all of the dbmail-* binaries are calling auth_connect().
Grepping for auth_connect yields this:

injector.c:  if (db_connect() != 0 || auth_connect() != 0)
smtp-convert.c:  if (db_connect() != 0 || auth_connect() != 0)
user.c:  if (auth_connect()==-1)
vut2dbmail.c:  if (auth_connect() == -1)

While grepping for db_connect yields this:

dbtest.c:  db_connect();
injector.c:  if (db_connect() != 0 || auth_connect() != 0)
main.c:  if (db_connect() < 0)
maintenance.c:  if (db_connect()==-1)
mini-injector.c:  if (db_connect() != 0)
raw-convert.c:  if (db_connect() != 0)
serverchild.c:  if ( db_connect() != 0)
settings.c:  if (db_connect()==-1)
smtp-convert.c:  if (db_connect() != 0 || auth_connect() != 0)
user.c:  if (db_connect()==-1)
vut2dbmail.c:  if (db_connect() == -1)

What I'm left to conclude is that main.c, maintenance.c, mini-injector.c,
raw-convert.c, serverchild.c and settings.c do not connect to the auth
services.

Unfortunately, I can say conclusively that serverchild.c MUST call
auth_connect() or else the only available authentication option is sharing a db connection. LDAP or a non-shared connection are not initialized, and
the server dies upon calling any auth-related command.

I suspect, though, that every place where db_connect() is called, an
auth_connect() ought also be called...
