I believe I had it working with both shadow and pam on FC2 and FC3
boxes. When set to shadow, it simply reads /etc/shadow directly. When
set to pam, it will use whatever PAM mechanism is configured on the
system (for example, lookup users in NIS or NIS+ domains).
However, the system where I tested shadow as saslautd mechanism had only
crypted passwords in /etc/shadow. I don't know if shadow mechanism
works with MD5 passwords. If not, time to fill bug report ;-)
P.S.
James, I planed to ask you a bit more about your Cyrus install and help
you out. I haven't managed to get back to you. Anyhow, glad to hear
you solved the problem.
