I made a virtual machine whose disk was a writable snapshot of the disk from another VM. After I changed the hostname, I was unable to login to cyrus imap until I created a new user in sasldb (with the new real). It seems that sasldb kept the realm/hostname with which they were originally created, but the accounts in cyrus imap moved to the new hostname. Could anyone help me understand what was going on? Here are more details about what I did. The old vm was vm-lenny00; the new one was vm-migrate07. On the new vm, # sasldblistusers2 cyrus@vm-lenny00: userPassword ross@vm-lenny00: userPassword I tried explicitly qualifying the names I used to login to imap; when that didn't work I added this line to imapd.conf: loginrealms: vm-lenny00 vm-lenny00.kvm.lan At this point the logs indicate I was able to authenticate, but my mail clients (evolution and mutt) reported they couldn't find a mailbox. Then I did # saslpasswd2 -c ross which created a ross@vm-migrate07 id in the sasldb. I was able to login to imap, using an unqualified "ross" as my username. So the imap server acts as if the accounts formerly associated with ross@vm-lenny00 actually belong to ross@vm-migrate07. In this case that's convenient, but I'm puzzled why it happened. sasl 2.1.22 with cyrus 2.2.13 on Debian Lenny. imapd.conf includes allowplaintext: yes sasl_minimum_layer: 0 loginrealms: vm-lenny00 vm-lenny00.kvm.lan sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop No virtual domains options are set.
