Well, after fixing the path to saslauthd I still can't connect. My auth.log reports: Oct 22 18:47:43 ophelia imap[18556]: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Connection refused
Odd. You don't have any firewalling rules configured that could affect this? My output looks much the same:
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 21488014 8277/saslauthd /var/run/saslauthd/mux
and I have no special config in /etc/cyrus.conf or /etc/imap.conf to tell imapd where to find saslauthd. Saslauthd is running as
'saslauthd -a pam'
with no other arguments.
Which is odd. I checked to make sure that saslauthd is listening, and it appears to be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mux]$ netstat -nalp | grep saslauthd (No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=500 but you should be root.) unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 106088 - /var/run/saslauthd/mux
/etc/imapd.conf is as follows: configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: root cyrus guildencrantz
You should probably not list yourself as an admin if that's your normal mail account, as it appears to be given your From: address. As the documentation suggests, being an admin lets you create folders anywhere, and may confuse other clients. I made this mistake when first learning about Cyrus, and had mozilla create '/var/spool/imap/Sent' etc because it misdetected the IMAP namespace. Most irritating.
