I have changed this to:
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root wheel 3704 May 24 2007 webadmin

but I think that this is not a problem because turning it back to normal
did not change the situation.

I have commented out the authmodulelistorig by mistake and
authmodulelist included everything supported now my configuration is:

authmodulelist="authmysql"
authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authpam authmysql authcustom authpipe"

but I still cannot see the modules in the web interface.

I had:
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 3690 Jan 8 08:14 authdaemonrc

but I tried to change it back to 0700 with no luck still doesn't work.

I have to say though that I am using the web server without ssl (I don't
think this makes any difference) because I have firewalled access to a
single machine. In every change that I have tried I am restarting the
services both authlib and courier itself just in case.

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"

</pre>

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?
