Re: PAM (Red Hat) saslauthd, and Cyrus IMAP

[Prentice Bisbal]

Thanks.After sending the previous e-mail, I just that. 
/etc/pam.d/{imap,mupdate} are identical, but I'm still having problems. 
I tried logging in using ssh/telnet, and I'm having problems doing that, 
so something must be wrong unrelated to mail.

I just switched these systems to use NIS yesterday. I must have made a 
typo somewhere...

I'm having trouble authenticating to Cyrus IMAP. After having problems
with salsdb2 and auxprop, I"m now trying to use saslauthd and pam so I
can use the users' password from NIS.
I can authenticate as myself, the cyrus admin, and the mupdate user fine
with the cyradm command, but when I try to use imtest or connect from an
IMAP mail client, I get reject, with the following entries in
/var/log/auth.log
Mar 10 15:40:18 pdb-mail-1 saslauthd[11318]: do_auth         : auth
failure: [user=mupdate] [service=mupdate] [realm=] [mech=pam]
                                   ^^^^^^^^

You need to create a PAM config file for each service.
