Does your "cyrus" user have rights to access the relevant files? Note that PAM is a library which cyrus links to implying that any "PAM auth request" ist done as the "cyrus" user. If you do shadow authen- tication, this may fail due to lack of read permissions. To check this, temporarily give "cyrus" read access to /etc/shadow - does this fix the problem? Other hint: "prefork=0" (/etc/cyrus.conf), telnet to 143 on one terminal, watch the corresponding imapd process via truss or ktrace on another terminal when trying to authenticate. Regards, - Birger
