Re: cyradm

It seems my problem is that I only want to offer imaps as a service, but when I comment imap out of cyrus.conf, the cyradm tool won't connect. Is there another way around this ?.

I'm having a little trouble with the cyradm tool, firstly I'd like to
point out that I'm only running Cyrus in a lab & am not that familiar at
this point.

I'm authenticating using saslauthd -a pam, everything is working fine
from an imap perspective, only imaps, using local acccounts, it's
running on Redhat. Only issue is the cyradm tool won't connect to the
local server.

You don't need an entry in /etc/saslauthdb2 if you're authenitacting
against PAM. Just try:

cyradm --user=cyrus --auth=login localhost

I've tried, using the --auth switch with a whole load of permutations,
unix,plain,pam,saslauth, tha man pages lists --auth[mechanism] without
specifying the mechs explicitly.

My account is listed as an admin in /etc/imap.conf, put an entry in
/etc/saslauthdb2 just in case, but am still having difficulties.

A quick rundown of how & what against this tool auths against would be
most helpfull.

Thanks up front & apologies if this question's a little low-brow.
