I am in the process of putting in a new mail server. Apparently this distribution of SUSE 8.2 has some weird things wrong with Cyrus and SASL, or it's just me. I would like to allow the following:^^^^^^
1. User accounts on the machine will have mailboxes and authenticate with the login authentication 2. PAM must be the method of choice for authentication
Here are the config files and the log entries I received.
/etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
sievedir: /var/lib/sieve
admins: cyrus
allowanonymouslogin: no
autocreatequota: 10000
reject8bit: no
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 30
poptimeout: 10
dracinterval: 0
drachost: localhost
sasl_pwcheck_method: plain
This isn't valid. If you want to use PAM, then this should be 'saslauthd'. And you should run 'saslauthd -a pam'
If you only want to use plaintext authentication, then you probably also want to add:
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no
#
# if you want TLS, you have to generate certificates and keys
#
#tls_cert_file: /usr/ssl/certs/cert.pem
#tls_key_file: /usr/ssl/certs/skey.pem
#tls_ca_file: /usr/ssl/CA/CAcert.pem
#tls_ca_path: /usr/ssl/CA
/etc/cyrus.conf
# standard standalone server implementation

# do not delete this entry!
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
# idled cmd="idled"

}
EVENTS {
# this is required
checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30
# this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression
delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440
# this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" period=1440
# Uncomment the next entry, if you want to automatically remove
# old messages of EVERY user.
