FW: Sqwebmail from Freebsd Ports.

Sorry Brian, i forgot to reply to the list :-)

I think i'll rather use authpam then. I guess i'll assume i have a PAM
library. I do have the /etc/pam.d directory.
Do i need to add any special configuration options to ./configure to allow
authpam and disable any other kind of authentication?

[please reply to the list, not to me]

You can install just whichever one you want to use, or none of them, in
which case you will only have non-database modules: the main ones will be
authpam, which authenticates system users, or authuserdb, which
authenticates against a .db file)
