    Hi everyone,

    I'm using freebsd 4.7 and want to authenticate some services using the
    pam-mysql module.
    I can authenticate successfully when I use the normal out-of-the-box
    methods, but when I try to use the pam-mysql module, I get nothing...

    I've got postfix running, and postfix is succesfully using mysql thanks to
    it's great usability. But when I want to use Courier IMAP/POP to work with
    pam-mysql (in /etc/pam.conf), it doesn't appear to work at all...

    Normally, when you cd yourself into a ported application
    (/usr/ports/security/pam-mysql) and type make, followed by make install and
    when needed, follow any other instructions on the screen, it'll work. I
    turned on loggin in mysql, so I can see any connection made and any select
    statement made, but the attempts used with pam-mysql are not logged at all.
    Which simply means that pam-mysql can't even connect to the mysql server.

    I've been searching with my friend Google, but can't find anyhting that
    might help me... It's very likely that I overlooked a few things, but I'm
    kinda wandering in a maze right now... I'm stuck...

    What I did was install a plain FreeBSD 4.7 from the CD's. I selected the
    maximum security (which means no service is started by default). Next, I
    installed a plain mysql. I installed a plain postfix with mysql support. I
    installed a plain Courier-IMAP/POP3. When I use the default pam
    authentication methods, no problem, everything works fine. But as soon as I
    want to use pam-mysql for POP3 and IMAP, no connection is made to mysql...

    What am I missing here???

    Any help much appreciated..

    Thanks,
