[imp] authentication problem in log files

[Andrew Heath]

No, root never logs in. The user andrew is just a user account. Your right
though, it does look like its try to use uid=0, but still shows the
user=andrew. It does not matter who the user is, it still gives the error.
HTTP and IMP both run as user apache so obviously IMP is trying to
authenticate uid=0 for some unknown reason, even though its just a normal
user. I guess I may have to try and re-install IMP, or try a CVS version.
