APOP, SSL, and PAM

I just got this working (on FreeBSD 6.2). Whew!

I set up my system using the Vanemery.com qpopper page as a guide.

I had originally put all my users into the APOP db, but that confused 
Qpopper when a PC user on OE tried to connect. So I deleted the PC 
users from the APOP db (leaving the Mac users in, since both Eudora 
and Mail.app do APOP), and that left me with a PAM error 
("pam_authenticate returned 9").

Turned out that all I needed to do was reset the PC users' passwords, 
and then PAM noticed whatever it needed to notice, and everything's 
working now.

I also learned that pam.d/* replaces pam.conf, so I didn't really 
need to go looking for a "missing" config file.
