Upgraded my working courier-imap to v3.0.2 last week, and since then have been having sporadic problems with login. Works fine for a while, then seems to randomly stop allowing logins. Neither Squirrelmail, KMail, or any other IMAP client can login until I restart the courier-imapd daemon. Some Googling turned up some info regarding an old known issue between Courier and vpopmail, which I'm not using.

I'm not sure where to start looking for this one, any clues for the clueless?

Additional info:

From the mail log file, for this latest failure,I have this:
Apr 13 20:01:44 [imapd] Error reading ACLs for : Invalid argument

This is repeated three times, once for each failed login attempt. I've stripped everything out of the authmodulelist line in the config file, so that it now reads:

authmodulelist="authpam"

No luck so far...

Why don't you use the bundeled authdaemon?

Well, I thought I was... "/etc/init.d/authdaemond start" reports that it's already started, the proper reference is in authdaemonrc.

Something is authenticating my users just fine, for a while, but at some point decides to no longer do so.
