How have you setup authentication against user accounts? The tutorial
you referenced is a little vague about SASL authentication sources,
and seems to be authenticating primarily against sasldb (separate
password db).

See Google for how Cyrus SASL works -- this link seems promising from
a quick read: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/cyrus/sysadmin.html

 2) I would like to be able to access each account through either pop3s,
 imap, or squirrelmail

Squirrelmail is just a web-based IMAP client.

 What have I done wrong, or where should I (re)start?

Anything in maillog or messages logs?

Hello list.
I've got a whole slew of issues I'm hoping you can help me resolve.  I 
followed the instructions at http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~venkat/tutorial1.html 
to install cyrusimapd.  Everything seemed just fine.  I tried to install 
SquirrelMail, which installed fine, but I cannot log in.

Here's what I want to do:
1) I want to use the regular user accounts and passwords for email.

Hi,
after a quick look on the website you mentioned, i saw no point where 
'saslauthd' gets installed.

my first dumb question: did you install it?
if you have installed security/cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd, you should have 
'/usr/local/sbin/testsaslauthd'. please use this tool to check for the 
correct operation of 'saslauthd'.

the website also mentioned that you have to set 'sasl_saslauthd_flags=-a 
sasldb' in /etc/rc.conf, but if you want to authenticate against system 
accounts, this setting is completely wrong. you should either set 
'sasl_saslauthd_flags=-a pam' (this is the default) or 
'sasl_saslauthd_flags=-a getpwent' to authenticate against system 
accounts. i never tried the pam and getpwent variants as i use ldap to 
authenticate.

hope this helps a litlle bit.
regards
Joerg
