That's OK. You should have everything necessary in there...

Just for being sure verify permissions on webadmin binary in cgi-bin
directory, mine is

-r-s--x--x 1 root wheel 3704 Mar 9 2006 webadmin

That's correct. But you need to read a bit more of the code. Directory first
mentioned is just for not yet commited changes. Actual data for running
system are in "/usr/local/etc/authlib". In authdaemonrc file, there are two
lines:

authmodulelist="authuserdb"
authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authvchkpw authpam authldap authmysql
authpgsql"

First one is for active modules, most probably should contain just authmysql
in your case probably, the second one is list of available modules, should be
left alone as is.

So in my case only authuserdb is listed as active, and there are six of them
in 'Add authentication module:" select box. In my case, authdaemonrc file has
following permissions:

-rw------- 1 courier courier 4298 Jan 7 17:44 authdaemonrc

Is there something different in your case? Did you tweak something there?
