I have looked back and perform the following act, and yet, I am still having the same error. What I have done was, 1. checked the permission setting of sasldb2 2.recreate the user in sasldb 3. Since I was a bit worried if my previous installation of Cyrus will affecting this "upgrade", I tried to install the same packages on a newly installed Linux but still, I am having the same problem. in sasldblistusers, I can see the entry, cyrus@linux: userPassword I have tried "imtest" with localhost or linux as the hostname but both are giving me the same error as follows. linux:/etc # /usr/local/bin/imtest -a cyrus -u cyrus linux C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * OK linux Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.3 server ready S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMI C_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFEREN CES IDLE S: C01 OK Completed Password: C: L01 LOGIN cyrus {10} + go ahead C: <omitted> L01 NO Login failed: user not found Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 0 Can someone kindly suggest what else I might have missed? I sense that I might have done something wrong during the compilation (wrong compilation option given) but I cannot figure out what it is. And is the line of "Capability" a normal one? Should I see any login/auth method from this line (I am using PLAINTEXT login)? Many thanks.
