Courier IMAP authentication problem

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

I'm trying to get Courier IMAP set up on my new server, and I can't get the 
login to work.  As far as I can tell, the Courier docs hardly discuss the 
authentication setup.  I'm moving from UW-IMAP on the old server, so I'm a 
Courier virgin.  I'm using Postfix for SMTP.  I'm testing using Thunderbird on 
the server itself for now to rule out any firewall issues.

I would like to set it up so I'm doing IMAP over SSL and/or TLS (I've seen 
conflicting info on exactly what TLS is, but I think it's an initial handshake 
before going over SSL, right?).  I would like to use regular UNIX 
userid/password to authenticate against, which I assume means using PAM 
authentication.

When I try to log in, I get "Login to server localhost failed."

In my /var/log/mail, I get
-------------------------------------------------
Nov 27 17:35:53 uninew imapd-ssl: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], 
command=LOGIN
Nov 27 17:35:53 uninew imapd-ssl: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], 
username=david
Nov 27 17:35:53 uninew imapd-ssl: authdaemon: starting client module
Nov 27 17:35:54 uninew imapd-ssl: authdaemon: TEMPFAIL - no more modules will 
be tried
Nov 27 17:35:59 uninew imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
-------------------------------------------------

Sure smells to me like the authdaemon stuff is not set up right.  This is 
what's running:
-------------------------------------------------
uninew:/etc/pam.d # ps -elf | grep courier (edited for brevity)
/usr/sbin/courierlogger -pid=/var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap/pid -start

/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemond.ldap

/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemond.ldap

/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemond.ldap

/usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemond.ldap

/usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=0 
-stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger -stderrloggername=imapd-ssl -maxprocs=4 
-maxperip=4 -pid=/var/run/imapd-ssl.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 993 
/usr/sbin/couriertls -server -tcpd
/usr/sbin/imaplogin /usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/authdaemon /usr/sbin/imapd 
Maildir

/usr/sbin/courierlogger imapd-ssl
-------------------------------------------------

Here's my config files:
/etc/courier/imap:
http://thekramers.net/tmp/courier.imap

/etc/courier/imap-ssl:
http://thekramers.net/tmp/courier.imap-ssl

/etc/courier/authdaemonrc:
http://thekramers.net/tmp/courier.authdaemonrc

/etc/pam.d/imap:
http://thekramers.net/tmp/courier.etc.pamd.imap


Thanks in advance for any clues.
