I had checked the permissions on /var/run/saslauthd/mux and they were 777 and also the directory /var/run/saslauthd which had 766. . I assumed that these were sufficient but I just changed the directory also to 777 and all works well. However I am not sure 777 is the right way to sort the problem. I've looked in the sasl documentation and can find nothing at all regarding the entitlements of /var/run/saslauthd. Is there any guidance on how the entitlement should be given? I would have expected to need some kind of group entitlement to be giveen to sasl users? Or is 777 ok? At least it's now working so I appreciate your help with that. > > Be aware that your password here is uuencoded and can be trivially > reversed. > Thanks for that info, I wasn't aware of that. It doesn't matter anyway, these are just test systems not connected to the outside world and that will be trashed when I'm finished. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
