Hello I use FreeBSD 7.2/amd64 with Cyrus IMAP v2.3.16. Cyrus is installed on two server. So fare Cyrus himself works as expected on both servers. It seems to be all ok. After I checked regulary my logs I see one strange message on the Cyrus syncronisation server (which helds the copies of the mails). /var/log/auth.log on the Sync server: auth.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 17:37:00 acsvfbsd02 syncserver[49881]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 1 auth.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 17:37:00 acsvfbsd02 syncserver[49881]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 2 auth.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 17:37:00 acsvfbsd02 syncserver[49881]: no user in db This occurs only if I start/restart the Cyrus process. /var/log/debug.log on the Sync server: Feb 7 08:59:07 acsvfbsd02 syncserver[50063]: accepted connection Feb 7 08:59:07 acsvfbsd02 syncserver[50063]: cmdloop(): startup So this meens for me that the sync communication would be accepted, isn't it? If I check the mails on both servers, they are identicaly. On the Sync client I get: debug.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 16:55:15 acsvfbsd06 sync_client[25108]: sync_client RESTART succeeded debug.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 16:55:15 acsvfbsd06 sync_client[25166]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 1 debug.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 16:55:15 acsvfbsd06 sync_client[25166]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2 debug.log.4.bz2:Feb 6 16:55:15 acsvfbsd06 sync_client[25166]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 3 and auth.log.7.bz2:Feb 5 17:52:23 acsvfbsd06 syncserver[96354]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 1 auth.log.7.bz2:Feb 5 17:52:23 acsvfbsd06 syncserver[96354]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 2 The relevant part of the imapd.conf: Cyrus sync client: [snip] sync_host: server1 sync_authname: test sync_password: xxxx sync_machineid: 1 sync_log: 1 sync_repeat_interval: 1 Cyrus sync server: [snip] sync_machineid: 2 sync_repeat_interval: 1 In the past I used sasldb2.db as password store. Now I use saslauthd/Kerberos5 which is works as expected. As described in the docs, DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5 use only the sasldb. So I store the user test on both servers in the sasldb. The result are the same. I also study around the mech-list but I use sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 and sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN. The result is also the same. Any ideas?
