I've set up a Cyrus IMAP server (on RH9), and it's working great. However, I didn't document the process of adding users/mailboxes, and know when I try to add someone, they can't authenticate. I don't have a good understanding of how authentication works in Cyrus, but here are (I think) relevant entries in my /etc/imapd.conf file:
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN IIRC, all I did initially to add users was add a user to /etc/passwd, and use saslpasswd -c, and then use cyradm to create the mailbox. However, when I do that now, and test using imtest, I get an error: S: L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure Authentication failed. generic failure sasldblistusers only lists the user the user I just created, and none of the working users. So I guess that I'm not using sasldb. Any help is greatly appreciated!
