OK, so, where I'm at, well I have Berkeley DB 3.2 installed (shared and static libs compiled ) and -from what I gather- sasl can't use any of the damn libraries (how can I make it). Aside from that, so I configure as follow: ./configure \ --with-dbpath=/etc/sasldb \ #--with-dblib=berkeley \ --disable-sia \ --without-pam \ --enable-cram \ --disable-digest \ --with-des \ --disable-krb4 \ --disable-gssapi \ --disable-anon \ --enable-plain \ --disable-login \ --disable-srp \ --disable-x509 \ --disable-srp \ #--with-pwcheck=/usr/cyrus/pwcheck \ #--enable-pwcheck \ --enable-sample And somehow only get the PLAIN option with sasldblistusers: user: cyrus realm: mail.vaview.vt.edu mech: PLAIN So what next? Imap can't see any authentication methods when I telnet in and do a ". capability". So anyone have any ideas? I can assure you I'm documenting all this to go into a book entitle "how to get imap up on RH 6.2!" -Greg --------------- Greg Lynn
