Subject: Re: [Exim] exim 4.14 build PAM problems (fails for shadow passwd)
searching for pam_exim brings up the following link.. following it leads
nowhere... not very encouraging for code that is going to be an
authentication module.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/pamexim/

anythoughts on an enhancement something like this:
    a new exim_auth program that runs as root
    exim is still rws of root
    exim spawns exim_auth at startup
    exim permanantly changes its runid to
        the id set in the make file
    also... how about the ability to set the id/group
        in the exim.conf file?


        AND


    a new compile time option to support courier imap
        running courier imap-ssl + exim + maildir
        courier already has an authdeamon


Thank you
