Yes, I did create user.test under cyradm (cm user.test) and saw all the folders in the appropriate places. How do you create the authentication backend? I read http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/sasl/sysadmin.html and it's all confusing. I have SASL installed, I did 'saslpasswd2 -c test' (account created with cyradm and I did 'saslauthd -a rimap -O 192.168.2.3) what do I need to do to get authentication backend running and for Squirrelmail and IMAPD authenticate properly?
