Hi,

I'm new to Cyrus.
As I'm trying to install Cyrus I run into problems when I try to test my
installation.

Here are my details:

OS: Linux
Distribution: RedHat 6.2
Kernel: 2.2.14-5.0 (plan to upgrade to 2.2.19)
Cyrus SASL version: 1.5.24
Cyrun imapd version: 2.0.16

Problem:
First time I configured it to use shadow passwords.
I compiled and installed Cyrus with "./configure --with-auth=unix"
and in /etc/imapd.conf I had "sasl_pwcheck_method: shadow"

First time I ran "imtest -m login -p imap localhost" I got this:

[cyrus@crocodile cyrus]$ imtest -m login -p imap localhost
C: C01 CAPABILITY
logout
 
But I realized I should restart the "/usr/local/sbin/master" proces 
because
it was the old version of a previuous test.
I got a connection this time but my password was rejected.
Maybe I should use sasldb and not shadow.
I changed the line in /etc/imapd.conf into "sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb" 
and
made cyrus the owner of /etc/sasldb
After running "/usr/local/sbin/saslpasswd cyrus" I tried again and got 
this error:

[cyrus@crocodile cyrus]$ imtest -m login -p imap localhost
C: C01 CAPABILITY
failure: prot layer failure

I'm lost, what can I do to try to fix this?

Regards,

Marcel Loesberg
