[Pam-mysql-general] Greetings. Looking for help with MacOS X

[Daniel E. W. <yg...@co...>]

I want to make a mail server, using Unix based utilities.

I want to use a MySQL database to authenticate the mail users so that they have no shell level login on the machine.

I want authenticated SMTP, and for that, given the rest of it, I am told I need pam-mysql.

I tried it and it gripes about not finding libraries for "-lcrypt"

Is this the Unix crypt function like in the section 3 man pages ?
