David: I re-compiled LDAP without SASL support and re-linked pam_ldap with the new LDAP libraries, as suggested. Restarted both LDAP and master; LDAP access successful; attempted IMAP access and as before Death by 11. Here's log file excerpt (SA B4):
Mar 19 10:50:11 mailsrv imapd[24376]: accepted connection Mar 19 10:50:11 mailsrv master[24388]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd Mar 19 10:50:11 mailsrv imap[24388]: executed Mar 19 10:50:11 mailsrv master[24347]: process 24376 exited, signaled to death by 11 As per Ken Murchison's suggestion, I looked for a core file and found none. Ken where will the core file reside, if created? What trace back would you like to view? Also, I found Archive note -> 1394, which skirts this issue. The note references a message on the OpenLDAP site -> http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200108/msg00594.html The above message addresses the re-entrant issue and provides a patch but, only refers to the SASL version 1.5.x library. Has anyone tried this patch on the SASL version 2.0.x library? I look forward to your responses..... RB
