I'm having trouble getting a working implementation of Cyrus IMAP on FreeBSD 4.7 CURRENT. And yes, I am using the ports, it just doesn't seem to work at all, rather annoying as I expected a "port" to just *work*.
I've an existing 1.6.24 Cyrus IMAP installation, which works like a charm, however, I'm forced to build a new machine, and I specifically want to use IMAP over SSL this time, which I don't remember as an option last time, and I don't want to run inetd, so I was looking to use a newer version. There seems to be three ports I can use on FreeBSD : /usr/ports/mail/cyrus ( effectively what I am using already ) /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd2 I've tried the two newer ports, in various ways, and not got a single one working completely. They compile fine, but success ends there... in all cases I've used DB3. cyrus-imapd2 : with saslauthd - can add entries to sasldb, that's about it, cyradm refuses to connect to the server, cannot connect to POP or IMAP server from anywhere, including localhost. cyrus-imapd : with saslauthd - can create entries in sasldb, read them back with sasldblistusers, however, "cyradm --user admin --auth CRAM-MD5 --server localhost" just hangs, cannot get cyradm to work at all. with saslauthd disabled and pwcheck instead - partially successful, can create entries in sasldb, can run cyradm, create mailboxes, log into IMAP or POP from localhost, all working, except; access from elsewhere gets me a terminated connection, or the wrapper twist "you are not allowed to use <pop3|imap> from yourhost.com" even though there are "pop3d : ALL : allow" and "imapd : ALL : allow" entries in hosts.allow. By adding at the top of hosts.allow "ALL : ALL : allow" it will work, but that kind of defeats the point of having wrappers... Looking through the docs doesn't suggest anything else that needs a clause in hosts.allow, so I am at a loss as to what's missing. I don't use sieve, disabled in cyrus.conf so I don't think it's that, adding a clause for lmtpd hasn't helped either. in all cases, I've pretty much taken the defaults, to reduce chances of things going wrong (ha!), but no luck. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that anything using sasl just isn't worth the bother, and conceding to stick with unencrypted IMAP/POP and running inetd. =( Can anyone give me any ideas?
