I sent this to cyrus-sasl first, but have not gotten any replies.

I was trying to look through the archives. There are thousands of "authentication" emails. I hope this is the right list. Please let me know if it's not.

I'm running posfix/cyrus/mysql on SuSE 9.0.

I can't connect to an account where the user name is not also a UNIX user (in /etc/passwd). This is driving me nuts. If I create a UNIX user, the authentication works fine. I deleted the user and now I get in /var/log/messages:

May 8 16:58:52 yoda imapd[2821]: Login disabled user=farmerg auth=farmerg host=ripley.kitty.cat [192.168.0.98]

Any help out there?

TIA
