Re: Ahhh!! Pulling my hair out over imapd/sasl configure!

Sorry for the unhelpful last message. Here goes with some help.

Here are the things I needed to do:

    * Set sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb.

    * chgrp mail /etc/sasldb

    * saslpasswd cyrus  (or whatever user)

If you still have troubles, strace is your friend. I modified my imap
line in inetd.conf to look something like this:

    imap ... /usr/bin/strace strace /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd

That way when you connect to the port and attempt to login you will see
a dump of all the syscalls made by the server process. After hours of
trying this method and finding various things I had done wrong I found
that the permissions were wrong on /etc/sasldb.
