If you want to use your *NIX password (shadow) file, you need your sasl_pwcheck_method to be "saslauthd" and you need to start saslauthd with the "-a shadow" option: saslauthd -a shadow Mike. --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
