Pam Errors
Hi, I seem to be having some issues with Pam correctly working on my debian sarge system. I had pam working for smtp auth, samba etc but now I cannot authenticate using these systems, even su brings up errors eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# passwd libby passwd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info. It's bring up some errors in auth.log but not enough for me to decipher Nov 26 11:21:36 winetka passwd[11622]: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown Nov 26 11:21:36 winetka passwd[11622]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname=scollyer uid=1002 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= Anyone have any ideas on something i may have stuffed or has happened?

horde2, imp & mysql
Has any one got any howto's on how to do this? I've installed the packages but can't seem to find anything of where to set the mysql db's etc. If anyone has managed to do this and has written some doco, i would love to read it.
