cyrus-imapd pop3 authentication

[Vijay Kumar]

Hi,   I am running cyrus-imapd-2.2.10 on RHEL 4 system. We have created a user test with passwd test and we want to this user to receive email. When we do a “telnet <ip> 110 and then give the USER and PASS commands , we are notable to login using the user id and passwd. Error given is : -[ERR] AUTH Invalid Login.   The logs show an error “unknown password identifier”   Here’s the imapd.conf  file :   configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus root sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /opt/postfix/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_pwcheck_method:passwd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt   I have tried replacing the sasl_pwcheck_method with shadow and unix keywords.   How can we configure support for /etc/passwd file, so that the same can be checked ? Do we need to create Maildir in every users home directory ?   Kindly help.   Regards, Vijay.
