Hi Everybody, I have compiled the sources with the "--with-auth=unix" and I also tried with "--with-pwcheck_method=pam" but still does not work.
My /etc/imapd.conf file looks like this: configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sasl_pwcheck_method: pam My /etc/cyrus.conf: # standard standalone server implementation START { # do not delete these entries! mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r" deliver cmd="ctl_deliver -r" } # UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/socket SERVICES { # add or remove based on preferences imap cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/imapd" listen="imap" prefork=0 imaps cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0 pop3 cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=0 pop3s cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 sieve cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0 # at least one LMTP listener is required for proper delivery # lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0 lmtpunix cmd="/usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefor k=0 } EVENTS { # this is required checkpoint cmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30 # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression #delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440 } My /usr/lib/sasl/Cyrus.conf pwcheck_method:pam /var/log/messages Log file with a 600 perm. shadow file: Sep 28 07:57:26 magenta pop3d[1831]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: No such file or directory Sep 28 07:57:26 magenta pop3d[1831]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb: No such file or directory Sep 28 07:57:31 magenta pop(pam_unix)[1831]: authentication failure; logname= uid=76 euid=76 tty= ruser= rhost= user=test /var/log/messages Log file with a 777 perm. shadow file: Sep 28 08:01:00 magenta pop3d[1831]: login: magenta.omnisig.com[127.0.0.1] test plaintext In both previous cases, I got the following output: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. +OK magenta.omnisig.com Cyrus POP3 v2.0.16 server ready user test +OK Name is a valid mailbox pass ******** -ERR Invalid login My /etc/pam.d/imap and pop files look like this: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth So does anybody have any ideas???
