The module is already part of vpopmail release 5.4.27. You can use it 1) authvchkpw - authentication module for courier-imap. It is bundled with vpopmail package (5.4.27) at https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpopmail/ After usual ./configure and make. copy the authvchkpw module to the courier-imap's authlib directory If you want to use courier-imap's own authshadow/authpam module to authenticate against your MySQL database without changing a single line of code in courier-imap. In this case you don't require authvchkpw module 1. download nssd at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/indimail/nssd-1.0.tar.gz 2) Modify nssd configuration file (See the README file after extracting nssd-1.0.tar.gz 3) Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to have the following entry passwd: files nssd shadow: files nssd 4) You may want to start the nscd daemon on your box /etc/init.d/nscd start You can use chkconfig to have nscd started on every reboot. Starting nscd saves password lookups in cache. Next time the lookup comes from nscd rather than going to the database > On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 10:07 PM, Manvendra Bhangui <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 2:18 AM, Rolf Eike Beer <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Recent vpopmail versions seem to provide that module.
