It won't ask for any passwords here, which is correct.  The passwords
get asked when you try logging in.

There are two ways you can do this, symlinks, or add an alias in your
httpd.conf.

Symlink method:

  Change to your web root (off the top of my head I cannot remember
  what it is in RH).  Mine for example is /www/servers.

  Create a symlink:  ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail squirrelmail

  Try getting to the page again.

Adding Alias to httpd.conf:

  Find your httpd.conf (/etc/httpd.conf?) And add the line:

    Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

  Or if you're prefer to use webmail...

    Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

  You can add both if you want.

  Then check your config (apachectl configtest) then restart
  (apachectl restart).

SquirrelMail itself isn't an executable.  It's just a combination of
multiple scripts that are executed by the PHP processor (as part of
your web browser).  Just make sure the following are running, and you
should be okay:

  Web-browser
  IMAP Server
  SMTP Server

IMAP and SMTP server technically don't have to be on the same server
as SquirrelMail, they could be on your ISPs servers for example.
