The standard location is /var/state/saslauthd/mux, but it can be changed using the --with_saslauthd option to cyrus-sasl's configure script. This socket must be accessible by the user or group that imapd is running as. The other possible problem is that saslauthd only supports simple LOGIN authentication. If the CAPABILITY response that you get from imtest includes: AUTH=OTP AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5, then you need to add the following to your imapd.conf file: sasl_mech_list: plain -- David Carter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Computing Service,Phone: (01223) 334502 New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Fax: (01223) 334679 Cambridge UK.

Check the permission on /var/run/saslauthd. In Debian, process that need to talk to saslauthd have to be in the sasl group.

Sounds like saslauthd and Cyrus IMAP are looking for the saslauthd socket at different places or the permissions on the path to the socket are preventing Cyrus IMAP from connecting.
