Configure PAM to authenticate imap, sieve, pop, etc. to mysql database. Configure saslauthd to use PAM Configure Cyrus to use saslauthd Some details can be found here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/ In particular, this setup forces Cyrus to use PLAIN client authentication. That means connections from users to Cyrus send passwords in plaintext over the wire unless you set up Cyrus to use TLS for client connections. Highly recommended. -- Jules Agee --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
