while it's been years since I seriously used UW IMAP I can't imagine it does not support PAM. It may not, but if it does(you can check by running ldd /path/to/server and check to see if pam is in the list), you can use any number of external authentication sources such as ldap, mysql, postgresql etc .. I personally use LDAP on my systems for authentication. The server does not need to tie directly into another authentication source, that is PAM's job. I have an extensive document on how to integrate LDAP into a system here: http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP everything from compiling to database population to NSS, PAM, SSL/TLS, Samba-tng, and much more .. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
