Hi,
I've resolved the authentication problem on RedHat 7.1. Having looked at the
latest messages I wanted to share what I've done
1. Compile and build packages provided by Ramino Moranes
http://rmrpms.tripod.com/cyrus-imapd
2. chgrp shadow /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
3. chgrp shadow /etc/shadow
4. chmod g+r /etc/shadow
This is obviously not the best way around but I needed to have pam
authentication rather than sasl or shadow.
Thanks Jeremy for the tip.
Regards,
Oyku
