Sam, could you pleaaaaase include something in the doc about this ? People get fed up answering the same question over and over again.
The answer ./configure \ --with-autvchkpw \ --without-authdaemon \ --without-authpam \ --without-authldap \ --without-authshadow \ --without-authmysql \ --without-any-other-auth-module-and-youll-be-fine ... don't start authdaemon
