[courier-users] webmail s_connect() error

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

I hope this message is going where it is supposed to. I'm pretty sure
I'm in the right place.

I am running Suse Linux 9.2 and I have setup and installed the latest
versions of courier-authlib and sqwebmail from source.

I run the authdaemond and it starts up ok. If I do a 'ps -ef,' I can see
that authdaemond is indeed running. If I use the authtest command with a
valid user and an incorrect password like so:

authtest username badpassword

I get:
Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted

Which is the correct behavior as far as I can tell. If I run the
authtest command with a valid user and a correct password:

authtest username goodpassword

I get:
Authentication succeeded.

This is a good sign to me as it indicates that authdaemond is operating
correctly.

I then turn on the sqwebmail daemon and run a 'ps -ef' and verify that
sqwebmaild is in fact running, which it is. When I try to log on,
however, I get a:

INVALID USER ID OR PASSWORD

Please try again.

I get this message regardless of whether I am inputting a correct
password or an incorrect password. All I can see from the logs is:

webmail: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Connection refused

When I searched the list archives and google, this error was usually
remedied by having the user start authdaemond. Well, I know that my
authdaemond is running. I have both sqwebmail and authdaemon running
with DEBUG=1.

The strange thing is if I use the authtest command, I get a bunch of
debug messages in my log. When I try to log into sqwebmail, the only
thing that appears in my log is that s_connect message. The other
strange thing is that if I use a non-existant username to try and log
into sqwebmail, I get no error message in the logs, just the INVALID
USER ID OR PASSWORD message on the web interface.

It seems as if sqwebmail is just not connecting at all to authdaemond. I
am wondering if sqwebmail is using the wrong UNIX socket or something. I
am not savvy enough to figure out which UNIX socket sqwebmail is using
to try and connect to authdaemond.

I have been searching the net/the docs/the archives to try and find any
information on what I am doing wrong. I appreciate your help on this.
And I thank you in advance.
