Update after 2 months breaks my squirrelmail / imap authentication

Question

Ok, updated after 2 months, normally expecting some issues, but nothing this bad.
Squirrelmail is used for remote hosts to access my server mail over internet.
This update broke authdaemon I think.
Here's output of authtest:
[root@cyclops log]# authtest mark pw(redacted)
ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
Authentication FAILED: No such file or directory
[root@cyclops log]#
Which is the same output as in my errors.log when a client tries to access imap. 
How do I turn verbosity up to get more useful output?
EDIT:  SOLVED
Forced REINSTALL of courier-authlib fixed it.  WHY WOULD IT DO THAT?
That was part of the update I believe, but why would it bork the install on a basic update?

Answer 1

Same problem here. For whatever reason, courier-impa is starting authdaemond and also stopping authdaemond directly after running the courier-processes in its init-script.
I hacked the script a bit, now it's working properly:
At the top, insert a line
AUTO_AUTHDAEMON="false"
Change the first if-clause to read:
if [ $AUTO_AUTHDAEMON == "true" ] ; then
and do the same for the second if-clause containing $AUTO_AUTHDAEMON.
That's it.
My complete init-script:
CI_DAEMONS=
AUTO_AUTHDAEMON="false"
[ -f /etc/conf.d/courier-imap ] && . /etc/conf.d/courier-imap
[ -z $AUTO_AUTHDAEMON_LAG ] && AUTO_AUTHDAEMON_LAG=2
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
case "$1" in
start)
if [ $AUTO_AUTHDAEMON == "true" ]; then
/etc/rc.d/authdaemond start
sleep ${AUTO_AUTHDAEMON_LAG}
fi
if [ ! -f /var/run/daemons/authdaemond ]; then
echo "ERROR: authdaemond is not running"
stat_fail
exit 1
fi
for daemon in $CI_DAEMONS; do
stat_busy "Starting Courier ${daemon}"
/usr/lib/courier-imap/${daemon}.rc start
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
add_daemon $daemon
stat_done
fi
done
if [ $AUTO_AUTHDAEMON == "true" ]; then
/etc/rc.d/authdaemond stop
fi
stop)
for daemon in $CI_DAEMONS; do
stat_busy "Stopping Courier ${daemon}"
/usr/lib/courier-imap/$daemon.rc stop > /dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
rm_daemon $daemon
stat_done
fi
done
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
