Re: trouble settting up cyrus
Does your imapd.conf have the parameter 'servername' configured? If so, you must specify that particular domain name while creating users. Try this before you change anything: imtest -a cyrus -m login localhost *** I can't get cyrus working. I'm trying to install version 2.1.12 with SASLv2 on a debian 3.0 system. I don't want to create debian users for every imap user so I'd like to use the sasldb athentication. I don't want to use PAM/mySQL. I've got the cyrus daemon running but I can't login either with cyradm nor imtest. I've already created a sasl user with saslpasswd2, but the log still says: badlogin: X.XXX[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] DIGEST-MD5 [SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database] imtest says: imtest -u cyrus localhost S: * OK SF111 Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.12-Debian-2.1.12-6 server ready C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE AUTH=NTLM AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED ANNOTATEMORE S: C01 OK Completed C: A01 AUTHENTICATE DIGEST-MD5 [...] Please enter your password: C: [...] S: A01 NO user not found Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 128 entries in imapd.conf: sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb2 I have no clue about auxprop.

Re: Authenticating Mail Users
Hi, I am using Horde/IMP on RedHat 7.3 with Cyrus IMAP. I am having problems authenticatin users. I folowed the Cyrus howto and added users. The problem is that it is authenticating users from the /etc/passwd and shadow file and not from sasldb and mails go to the Cyrus Imap mail directories, which works ok. With this method I have to create the user both from cyradm and useradd. I want to get users authenticated from the sasldb file and not /etc/passwd and shadow. Which version of Cyrus IMAP are you using? These instructions are for Cyrus IMAP v2.1. If you want users to be auth-ed from the sasldb2 file, the parameter sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop must be defined in this manner. Then create users using the saslpasswd2 mechanism. This is what my imapd.conf shows [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# cat /etc/imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sieveuserhomedir: no sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# regards Krishna http://www.KrisinDigitalAge.com

Re: cyrus imapd+netscape mail client
Hi there, I'm using both IMP and Mozilla 1.1 which is very similar to yours. I have that 'problem' as well but if you take a look at IMP's Trash after deleting your email in Netscape, you'll notice that the email is both in Trash and striked out in Inbox at the same time. Only after you close Netscape mail, the email will be actually deleted off (provided that you set the option in your mail client settings). I'm not too sure how the IMAP protocol is supposed to work but this may not be a bug after all. -- << Eugene Chow >> == xyrik at == -=ecentrenet dot kom=- *** Toomas Vann wrote: Hi!

Re: pop3d unstable
Stephen Carr wrote:
Dear Eugene
Could I ask if a pop3d process is left "running"?
Sorry... I don't get what you mean by "left running".
If master is killed, the processes that it spawned will still remain and
will not die immediately until after a predefined period of time passes
without any activity. That's what I observed; at least in my experience.
So if I have to restart master for some perculiar reason, I'll kill off
all the other processes it spawned rather than wait for it to timeout
and die a natural death.
Hope I answered your question.
I had a similar problem using cyrus-imap 2.0.16 on Solaris 2.5 and by
changing the following at the bottom of service.h in the master directory the
problem vanished.
Never used 2.0.16 before. So I can't comment on it.
enum {
MAX_USE = 1,
REUSE_TIMEOUT = 10
};
What happens is a new pop3d process id launched for each pop3
connection.

Do you have the line that starts pop3d in cyrus.conf? Check the imapd/messages logs when you connect to the pop3 port to see if any errors appear. Also, try killing and restarting master.

Re:
That's weird... Why would you want to do that? Anyway, you might like to try this. Since the daemons pop3d and imapd can accept parameters to use different config files, you could create two config files in /etc for imapd and pop3d (ie. pop3d.conf and imapd.conf). Then in each config file, specify a different path for the sasldb2 user database using this parameter: sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb2 You could have one db file called pop3db and another imapdb if you like. Then in cyrus.conf, change the following line from this: pop3 cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=0 to: pop3 cmd="/usr/local/cyrus/pop3d -C /etc/pop3d.conf" listen="pop3" prefork=0 The command used in the second line tells pop3d to read pop3d.conf instead of the default imapd.conf. Tell me if it works 'coz I never tested it out before. Hope it helped!

Re: Moving cyrus from one machine to another
Okay, I'm confused. Are you using SASLv2 or v1? You seem to be able to execute both saslpasswd and saslpasswd2. Anyway, if you wish to use the auxprop plugin, the parameter 'sasl_pwcheck_method' should be set to 'auxprop' FYI, there's no option 'shadow' for 'sasl_pwcheck_method'. sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop If you're using auxprop, then you have to have a sasldb2 file in your /etc directory. To create it (if it isn't present), you could start by adding the user cyrus: saslpasswd2 -c cyrus If you wish to have PLAINTEXT authentication only, then add a parameter 'sasl_mech_list' and have 'plain' as its only option, like this: sasl_mech_list: plain Then test your configuration by typing in the following command: imtest -m login -a cyrus localhost Regarding the error message you received while executing saslpasswd2, I'm not sure as to what it is trying to imply but if you don't have any userIDs residing in the file, you could try deleting it and then use saslpasswd2 to recreate the file.
