Enable Statistics Logging and pam.d

I have been trying to Enable Statistics Logging for qpopper on a Mac  
OS 10.4.9 and one of the suggestions I received said to configure  
qpopper in standalone mode (see below). I thought that since I was  
going to re-configure qpopper I would just used the latest version  
(4.1a5). After configuring in standalone mode, I restarted everything  
and was unable to authenticate (pam). Looking at the pop3 file in  
pam.d I saw;

# pop3 : auth account
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so

I remembered from sometime back that I had taken one of the other  
files in pam.d and used it for pop3 to make it work. This time I used  
the imap file from pam.d and changed out imap with pop3. After doing  
this everything worked.

# pop3 : auth account password session
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so

Through the process of elimination I found that the "auth sufficient  
pam_securityserver.so" line had to be in there for it to work.

Thanks,
Jim

PS.  I still haven't gotten statistics logging to work.
