I'm stumped. I've restored a mail store to a box and installed the Cyrus packages, and copied the configuration files from a *WORKING* Cyrus server. But whenever I try to authenticate I get a "unknown password verifier" message in the logs: Oct 30 09:51:37 aleph imap[12614]: accepted connection Oct 30 09:51:40 aleph imap[12614]: unknown password verifier Oct 30 09:51:40 aleph imap[12614]: badlogin: [192.168.1.81] plaintext adam SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed This is on OpenSuSE 10.1 using the provided packages, same as the working server. Packages installed: cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-18 cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.21-18.3 cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-27 Test saslauthd wors: aleph:/home/awilliam/tmp # testsaslauthd -u adam -p ******* 0: OK "Success." aleph:/home/awilliam/tmp # grep sasl /etc/imapd.conf sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN allowplaintext: 1 Any clues? As far as I can tell configuration is identical to working server. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
