i'm trying to setup cyrus (imap & sasl) version 2.1.12 with postfix 2.0.3 and mysql support. i'm trying to setup virtual e-mail hosting with imap access, but am not having any luck. i /think/ my problem is with sasl, but i don't know if something might be causing it.
if this is off topic, could you please point me in the general direction? i've searched the web, but the best i could find was somebody saying they had the problem but found the answer elsewhere. i didn't know what to include (because i'm not sure what the problem is), so let me know what you need to help. when i try to start cyrus at the command line with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus start it tells me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> saslauthd: unknown authentication mechanism: pam and my system log does something like this: Mar 4 16:19:29 ns1 sudo: krc : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/krc ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/cyrus start Mar 4 16:19:29 ns1 master[1176]: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted Mar 4 16:19:29 ns1 master[1176]: retrying with 1024 (current max) Mar 4 16:19:29 ns1 saslauthd[1175]: START: saslauthd 2.1.12 Mar 4 16:19:29 ns1 saslauthd[1175]: FATAL: unknown authentication mechanism: pam Mar 4 16:19:30 ns1 master[1176]: process started Mar 4 16:19:30 ns1 master[1177]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Mar 4 16:19:30 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1177]: recovering cyrus databases Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1177]: done recovering cyrus databases Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1176]: ready for work Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1178]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/tls_prune Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1179]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_deliver Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1180]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_deliver[1179]: DBERROR db4: 4 lockers Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_deliver[1179]: duplicate_prune: pruning back 3 days Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_deliver[1179]: duplicate_prune: purged 0 out of 0 entries Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1180]: checkpointing cyrus databases Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1176]: process 1179 exited, status 0 Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 tls_prune[1178]: tls_prune: purged 0 out of 0 entries Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1176]: process 1178 exited, status 0 Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1180]: archiving database file: /var/imap/mailboxes.db Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1180]: archiving log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001 Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1180]: archiving log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001 Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 ctl_cyrusdb[1180]: done checkpointing cyrus databases Mar 4 16:19:31 ns1 master[1176]: process 1180 exited, status 0 thanks in advance, kevin
