Hello all: I am noticing the following while implementing cyrus on our systems when working with GSSAPI authentication. Firstly: OS: Debian Etch (4.0) Cyrus Version: 2.2.13 Please note: Cyrus is configured to work with both plain and well as gssapi authentication. Please find log below: --- Authentication via GSSAPI --- samwise:/# imtest -m GSSAPI samwise.emergen.biz S: * OK samwise.emergen.biz Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-10 server ready C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=GSSAPI SASL-IR S: C01 OK Completed C: A01 AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI 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 S: + YIGZBgkqhkiG9xIBAgICAG+BiTCBhqADAgEFoQMCAQ+iejB4oAMCARKicQRvsXC9xdOfToafJ2pnaLm9PKEm8Kg3nvrA57rBxOOqPOTgamiFbQYdkgu1KIO5qU0pzszYCDTau6NKyHugt5/n4ACWF3LmPIODtGSbgo61D23CAhsDVUeUXDXTuigx9f/MO+3vbd6L0eRA8h5463un C: S: + BQQF/wAMAAAAAAAAJx6sewcAEABJrP3DM691T6WIuOw= C: BQQE/wAMAAAAAAAACv73jgQABAB0NwsarHU++17uNwo= S: A01 OK Success (privacy protection) Authenticated.

The same is observed when working with cyradm and GSSAPI authentication as opposed to PLAIN auth. If I can provide further information please do let me know. I appreciate any help.
