Bug 107090 – courier-authlib-0.57-r1 not working with pam

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description lzap 2005-09-24 06:54:31 UTC]

When trying to configure Courier IMAP with PAM, the courier-authlib fails to work:

authdaemond: /usr/lib/courier-authlib/libauthpam.so.0: undefined symbol:
nscd_flush_cache

Reemerging either pam or courier-authlib doesnt help. Courier IMAP is not
working with PAM!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
authdaemond: /usr/lib/courier-authlib/libauthpam.so.0: undefined symbol:
nscd_flush_cache

[Comment 1 lzap 2005-09-24 06:58:41 UTC]

Version 0.55 works fine. I recommend:

# echo ">=net-libs/courier-authlib-0.57" > /etc/portage/package.mask
# emerge courier-authlib

Please mask the package until fix.

I'm currently using courier-imap configured using PAM, with 
courier-authlib-0.57-r1, no problem at all. 
That symbol seems related to glibc more than PAM. 
 
Can you paste your emerge info?

I have used 0.55 and no problems. I checked it on the internet - its a bug in
this release (or "feature").

The problem can be, you didnt recompile the courier. Try this: install 0.57-r1
(or check you have this version), now reemerge courier-authlib. Working?

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-04-21 08:58:23 UTC]

I'm tempted to say this is not pam fault, but more likely to be a broken build system in courier-authlib.

[Comment 6 Alan Mosca 2006-09-15 17:50:08 UTC]

Can anyone tell me if this bug persists in 0.57-r2?

Can be used to patch /etc/init.d/courier-authlib or /usr/portage/net-libs/courier-authlib/files/courier-authlib-initd

I have courier-authlib-0.58 here and it works like a charm.

[Comment 10 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2007-01-16 22:41:26 UTC]

lzap: is this fixed for you in 0.58?

[Comment 11 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2007-02-03 20:50:06 UTC]

Is this still an issue with courier-authlib-0.59.1?

FWIW, never been able to reproduce this w/ 0.57 or any later version. No idea.
