As of this time I am happy to report that adding "--with-devrandom=/dev/urandom" to the sasl config has solved the issue for a 2.6 kernel. I was finally able to implement the compile time feature last week and "seem" to be running fine.
Just a follow-up to the thread... -Bob ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert T.

I will recompile that and put in the allowapop statement.

Well, recompiling SASL *should've* taken care of that, but you could also try disabling APOP in /etc/imapd.conf: allowapop: 0 Restart Cyrus after you make the change. If that helps it means that, for whatever reason, Cyrus still uses /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom ... if it doesn't help, something else must be wrong. I have no idea what that might be. -- Sebastian Hagedorn - RZKR-R1 (Flachbau), Zi. 18, Robert-Koch-Str. 10 Zentrum für angewandte Informatik - Universitätsweiter Service RRZK Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - Tel. +49-221-478-5587
