Hi mates,
I'm running Cyrus IMAP without saslauthd with cyrus-sasl library at this moment and integrated with Postfix. The OS I'm running is FreeBSD... it has taken me sometime to set up this testing server... I have tried several times to set cyrus imap auth against saslauthd... I can't get my goal so now have had to switch to auxprop with mysql... but this IMHO has a little disadvantage... with saslauthd and X number of procceses forked you have like a "pool" of connections (what in postfix config is called proxy daemon too) but without saslauthd and with bulk connections to database through auxprop perhaps you could cause DOS to you're mysql server if you receive a dictionarie attack for example... I have read that it's possible to set saslauthd with mysql BUT without crypted passwords on database... that wouldn't mind me... could you please advise some howto or doc please? All doc I found is for being set up with crypted passwords and through pam... but this has run me into some troubles in freebsd... because I think pam-mysql doesn't work quite nice on freebsd... so could you please advise me some doc or howto setup cyrus imap and postfix auth through saslauthd? I think it's a concept problem because I don't understand quite well how saslauth works and will config file reads and so...
Zenk really.
