Two things . . . first, I was pretty sure this mail list was dead, I haven't received any mail from it in a long while.
Second, (more importantly - your issue) I had a very similar issue a few years ago. I was even more of a n00b back then, but the end result was somehow I had sqWebMail AND another package (as I recall it was another webmail, I think at the time it was SquirrelMail (subsequently I have preferred IMP to both (http://www.horde.org/imp/) yet I found it far more difficult to build than either). Basically what was happening in my setup was both were calling to authdaemon to invoke the authentication. Somehow, as soon as one tried invoking authdaemon, it seemed to lock. As long as the other package wasn't invoked it was fine - if it was, I had to stop and restart the authdaemon and begin my evaluation process all over again. (I was assisting in a comparison of different webmails for an ISP). In short, my question really is - do you have any other packages that are using authdaemon? More importantly, if there is anyone else still reading this list, they can probably help you far better than I, but I was hoping I could at least point in the right direction.

I have subsequently come home and found this group which is a lot more suted I think to the problem, although I am using Qmail/Vpopmail as MTA components. I have built Vpopmail and it works - the commands #groupadd -g 89 vchkpw #useradd -g vchkpw -u 89 vpopmail Were used to create the accounts. I then build Courier authentication modules using the following commands: ./configure --without-authpam --without-authldap --without-authpwd --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --without-authshadow --without-authuserdb --without-authcustom --without-authcram --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw --with-mailuser=vpopmail --with-mailgroup=vchkpw make make install make install-configure I have used /usr/local/sbin/authtest to test the authentication works - it correctly finds the virtual mailbox in Vpopmail. I then run the .configure script on latest Sqwebmail build thusly: #./configure --prefix=/usr/local/share/sqwebmail --with-cachedir=/var/cache/sqwebmail --enable-imageurl=/images/sqwebmail --enable-imagedir=/srv/www/htdocs/images/sqwebmail --enable-cgibindir=/srv/www/cgi-bin --with-cacheowner=bin --without-authpam --without-authuserdb --without-authpwd --without-authshadow However I get an error about the authentication modules not being loaded. I have started the authdaemon and it seems to start without error. Any suggestions/clues? This is on SLES9 btw. Thanks.
