Hi. I'm compiling cyrus-imapd and cyrus-sasl 2.1.9 from source and everything has gone fairly good until now. I don't understand why I get this error message:
Oct 17 18:25:04 localhost imapd[6803]: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory Oct 17 18:25:04 localhost imapd[6803]: badlogin: box1.ourdomain [192.168.1.194] plaintext testuser SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed In my /etc/imapd.conf I have: sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd and in /usr/lib/sasl/Cyrus.conf, I have: pwcheck_method: pam saslauthd and all the Cyrus processes start and are running just fine. The `mux' socket is in /var/run/saslauthd/ and everyone can read/write to it. (As per the FAQ.) Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. On a related note, why isn't Cyrus doing PAM authentiaction by itself? Thanks, Erik.
