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.
