This sounds like it might be a Courrier authentication problem.  IMAP is
responsible for the authentication.  The authdaemon included with Courrier
has several authentication options that are staggered.  (If the first
authentication type fails then then next will be tried.)  If all of your
email users are autheticated against one thing (just the passwd file, or
just /etc/userdb, or just LDAP) then you might seriously consider removing
all authentication types except the one you're using.  In other words, edit
them out of the authdaemonrc file.  For example, to prevent my machine from
tying to authenticate my users against PAM or LDAP I trim down this line:
authmodulelist="authcustom authcram authuserdb authpam authldap"
To simply contain the one authentication method I accept.
authmodulelist="authuserdb"
This can help prevent ambiguity against where users are authenticated.  Let
me know if this helps.

Sincerely,

David Cunningham

Subject: [SM-USERS] Login problems with certain accounts


Dear users

Yesterday I installed Courier-IMAP and squirrelmail to provide webmail for
my clients. qmail is my mailserver, with vpopmail to provide virtual hosts
support.

I am having some weird problems when using squirrelmail.

I do not seem to be able to login in squirrelmail decently with my account.
Someone else has no problems logging in.
When I finally successfully log in using my account, it takes a couple of
clicks on some links (inbox, trash) before I get an error stating that I'm
not logged in correctly.
Entering email and pass will give username/password error. Trying half a
million times won't do anything. After a while, suddenly, once again I can
login successfully, however after a short wile I get the same error as
above.

I have checked some accounts. Some accounts never have problems, some
accounts suddenly became inaccessible via webmail (user/password error) etc
etc.

I have no idea where to begin to find the problem, any ideas? Someone with
similar experiences?

Thanks

Kind greets
Bart

An eye for an eye...
And soon the whole world would be blind
