Thanks, Sam. This is what I get:

[root@bonsai authlib]$ ./authtest dan
Authenticated: module authdaemon
Home directory: /usr/home/dan
UID/GID: 1000/20
AUTHADDR=dan
AUTHFULLNAME=Dan Fairs
[root@bonsai authlib]$ ./authtest dan correctpass
[root@bonsai authlib]$ ./authtest dan wrongpass

... though...

[root@bonsai authlib]$ ./authtest [EMAIL PROTECTED] test
Authenticated: module authdaemon
Home directory: /usr/home/vpopmail/domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test
UID/GID: 1016/1009
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
AUTHFULLNAME=test

So - what does this mean? authdaemon finds me as a user when I don't specify
a password, but doesn't find me when I specify the correct password,
although password auth is working with my test mail address? Where do I go
next?

Many thanks,
Dan
