when you use '-m login' imtest bypasses the sasldb and goes straight for your shadow file. did you try that with a valid linux user?
also, you might try starting saslauthd: # saslauthd -a pam & in imapd.conf sasl_passwd_check: sasldb # saslpasswd -c cyrususer # sasldblistusers *** NOTE WHAT REALM THE PASSWORDS ARE IN *** # imtest -a cyrususer -u cyrususer -r REALM REALM Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Phil Dibowitz > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 3:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Secure Imap Problems > > > Alright, brand-spankin' new Cyrus-imap 2.0.16 installed from source. > > I want to get regular imap working before secure imap.
