Is saslauthd dumping core? If not, then you might have to use 'ulimit' to set the core file size to something other than 0. Something like the following should get you a core, assuming that saslauthd actually tries to dump one: cd /tmp ulimit -c unlimited saslauthd -a pam & My guess is that saslauthd itself isn't the problem, and the PAM module(s) are. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
