If you use pam or shadow saslauth should use system users and not check the sasldb. We are using Dovecot for POP/IMAP and so I use it for SASL authentication since CentOS 5 as well. That has worked out-of-the-box since I first tried it. I see you want to use Cyrus. I've no experience with saslauthd and postfix, I used to use it only with sendmail and I remember that we had tiny problems to get it running with about every second setup back then. If it doesn't matter which POP/IMAP server you use I would recommend going with Dovecot. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
