Re: Hello! Installing Cyrus first time...
Hi Daniel, It sounds like the pwcheck server isn't set up correctly. If you are using a newer version of Cyrus, you'll probably want to use saslauthd; I found it more flexible and easier to configure. I can't remember where the documentation was that I used, but it was pretty straightforward. What do you want to authenticate against? PAM, sasldb, etc?

Did you read the installation instructions (html) that come with the distribution? If you grabbed a precompiled version for FreeBSD and the docs weren't included, then you should yell at the packager. Ken -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

I got this message because cyrus could not access the /var/pwcheck directory. Jan
