| Okay, I partially got my IMAP configuration working again by adding that last line to the inetd.conf file. However, whenever I try to authenticate in Mail, it doesn't authenticate properly. The first time that I did it, it also didn't recognize the certificate, but now that seems to be ok. Any ideas on why it wouldn't be authenticating properly? | ||

I think 10.3 has PAM (Plugable Authenticator Module) so I am going to try compiling like so:
make osx PASSWDTYPE=pam SSLTYPE=unix
--or--
make osx PASSWDTYPE=pmb SSLTYPE=unix
Any advice would be useful

I had the same issue and after half a day of digging finally got to the bottom of it. The clue is in the man page for 'getpwent'. It describes that as of 10.3, the pw_passwd field of 'struct passwd' has changed, and that Panther users by default have their authentication go through DirectoryServices rather than the tradition shadow password. I'm certainly glad that Apple has provided versions of ssh, etc. that work with the new scheme, but it seems as though some work is needed to get UW-IMAP to authenticate properly under Panther. If you are interested in doing a small amount of source code hacking to get the server to work for you (as I did), edit
"src/osdep/unix/ckp_std.c"
and modify the checkpw function so that it no longer uses
the crypt function to verify the password. I leave it up to
you how best to fix the checkpw function for your situation.

Same Problem, I have tried finks binaries too and they don't work either.

I'm suffering the same problem. I've tried to build imapd with and without SSL. I can telnet successfully to either port 143 or 993 and get an appropriate banner listing the authentiction requirements, but I'm unable to satisfy the password prompts.
I tried creating an entry in /etc/passwd using my hashed password thinking that imapd was parsing that file directly. No success.
