I'm provisioning a new mail server, and have installed courier-imap with
the related courier-authlib. hardened profile, system pretty fully
up-to-date.
net-libs/courier-authlib-0.58 -berkdb* +crypt -debug +gdbm -ldap -mysql
+pam -postgres
net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.1 -berkdb* -debug -fam +gdbm -ipv6 +nls
(-selinux)
I'm attempting (or intending) to use PAM authentication.
The usual IMAP testing trick of "telnet localhost 143" immediately (no
chance to enter a command) returns. pam didn't emit any debug output ...
I suspect it didn't get that far.
# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* BYE imaplogin expected exactly two arguments.
Connection closed by foreign host.
In my attempts to research, most references I've found describe mixed
environments in which the reporters were attempting to use courier-imap
with someone else's authentication - I'm not.
I found this thread
http://www.talkaboutsoftware.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/messages/63821.html
that describes removal of mysql table based authentication. I've done
this. No improvement. The thread itself reminds me somewhat of Fermat's
Last Theorem - the gent in question says the suggestions helped lead him
to a solution for his problem, but neglects to document what his
solution actually was).
So there I am. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any insight
into debugging it?
For the record, I've done tarball installations of courier on debian,
successfully, even after hacking the code for a variety of reasons. I
don't want to build this system that way, but I'm frankly scratching my
head and feeling pretty incompetent. :/
thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
