Yes I read the manual (many times) I am not sure if I
completely understand it.
I have:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /usr/imap
defaultpartition: default
admins: cyrus root
sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb
in /etc/imapd.conf.
if goober does not exist on the system I get the
following:
imap# saslpasswd goober
Password:
Again (for verification):
imap# imtest -m login -u goober -a goober imap
C: C01 CAPABILITY
S: * OK imap.goob.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.12 server ready
S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+
NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT
MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5
S: C01 OK Completed
Password:
C: L01 LOGIN goober {6}
+ go ahead
C: <omitted>
L01 NO Login failed: Userid not found <<---confused!!
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0
Also If the sasldb and regular unix password are not
the same cyradm crashes.
imap# cyradm -u cyrus imap
Please enter your password:

cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus
If the passwords match I get logged in okay.
However once logged in I cannot create a mail box.
imap# cyradm -u cyrus imap
Please enter your password:
imap.goob.com> cm user.robert
createmailbox: Permission denied
must I be in a certain directory when I
"createmailbox"?? What am I doing wrong?
as you can see I have cyrus as an admin user in
imapd.conf.
FreeBSD 4.3
Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.12
Cyrus-sasl 1.5.24
sorry so long winded.
so any hints??
Thanks for the response.
