Thank you for your answers. They clarified lots bubbles in my head. I have compiled pam_mysql.so and placed it under /lib/security/. Now, to get pam_mysql authenticate for cyrus. Do I need to replace imap, pop, lmtp under /etc/pam.d as follows? From: auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth To: auth optional /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=cyrus passwd=password account required /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=cyrus passwd=password Regards, Norman
