Cyrus gurus,
This was my last resort. I scoured the net in search of anything that
could help me solve this problem...including the archives of this list.
Basically, the problem is this, I can only log into the IMAP server with
one account 'cyrus'. Any other accout will NOT work. I'm using the
'pwcheck' method of authentication per the SASL documentation. I've
tried all the suggestions I've seen...just using 'sasldb' auth mech...or
'shadow' making /etc/shadow readable by 'cyrus' user....all with no
success. /etc/sasldb , /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow all have the same
entries per user. Has anyone else experienced this problem?? And if so,
how do I fix it? Below is some output from 'imtest'. The unsuccessful
login outputs nothing to syslog, but the successful login does.
Thanks.
