Hello,

I installed via SuSE .rpm:
cyrus-imap 2.0.16
cyrus-sasl 1.5.24

I seem to have a problem of authentication:

after making:

lx93: passwd cyrus
lx93: saslpasswd cyrus

then:

lx93:~ # imtest -u cyrus -m login localhost
C: C01 CAPABILITY
S: * OK lx93 Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready
S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID 
NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT 
THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE
AUTH=ANONYMOUS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN X-NETSCAPE
S: C01 OK Completed
Password:
C: L01 LOGIN root {7}
+ go ahead
C: <omitted>
L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0
.. logout
lx93:~ # 

**** !!! AUTHENTICATION FAILURE !!! ***** 

If I want to enter a password for a user I have the following:

lx93:~ # saslpasswd abarthel
Password:
Again (for verification):
saslpasswd: generic failure

        ****!!! GENERIC FAILURE !!! ****

/etc/sasldb remains desperately empty

========================

/etc/imapd:

configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
allowanonymouslogin: no
autocreatequota: 10000
reject8bit: no
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 30
poptimeout: 10
dracinterval: 0
drachost: localhost
sasl_pwcheck_method: pam   >>>>> ?????   

======================================

Where could be the problem? Where to check?

Thanks

Alain
