UW-Imap can be compiled to use pam (certainly is on my test set-up here
at home).  If that is done then all you need to do is edit the pam
configuration so that UW-IMAP is authenticating against the smb_auth
module.  Note that the smb module only provides an authentication
service, so you would not be able to change user passwords through imap
(and so you should change the password module to pam_deny or
pam_permit). =20

The conventional set-up for UW-IMAP still requires local
accounts.  If you are trying to run it in black-box mode then you could
also change the account and session modules from pam_unix to pam_permit.
