Evening everyone.
I've been working with cyrus-imapd today, getting familiar with how it works. I must say, it is very very cool. I like it a lot.
I should mention, im running FreeBSD 4.9, with cyrus 2.1.15, cyrus-sasl-2.1.17, BerkeleyDB-4.1.25.
I built cyrus out of the ports tree, so I could get a feel for everything. I'm planning to build everything by hand, to have more control and understand more of the underlying concepts.
Anyway, I was reading the docs on the cyrus web page and was reading the part about testing cyrus. I have been able to login and authenticate to ensure it is working correctly, but there is a entry in my log that I'm not sure about. Here it is:
Jan 5 23:54:39 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied
Jan 5 23:54:43 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: no user in db
This error message is coming from the ndbm database backend for sasldb2. If authentication is working, I'm not sure why you would be getting this message.
Jan 5 23:54:43 obsidianbox imapd[8015]: login: localhost[::1] testuser plaintext
The first line, I figured out by reading the FAQ. I needed to chown /etc/opiekeys to the user 'cyrus'. That no long shows up in my logs.
However, the second field is my question. I'm not exactly sure why it is appearing.
I have added my testuser to the sasldb2, using the appropriate commands.
Here is additional info for reference:
$ /usr/local/bin/imtest -m login -a testuser localhost
Just for the hell of it, if you try the following, does the error message go away?
$ /usr/local/bin/imtest -m login -a testuser -u testuser localhost

If there is any other info I can provide to help, let me know.
What do your sasl_* options look like?
