I am trying to get cyrus-imapd and saslauthd running together so that I can get squirrelmail to work. I have accomplished this on several other servers and have relatively complete documentation on how to do this. What I am running into in this case has me baffled. If I start saslauthd as a service: # service saslauthd start And I try testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p test Then I see this: 0: NO "authentication failed" and in the syslog I see this:: saslauthd[5995]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=cyrus] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] However, if I stop the system service: # service saslauthd stop and I run the saslauthd daemon from the tty with debug on: # saslauthd -a shadow -d -n 6 then when I try # testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p test I see 0: OK "Success." Anyone have a clue for me as to what is going on here? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
