Hi,

still having troubles with cyrus!
MAJOR PROBLEM : I cannot set up mailboxes.

Getting access to cyrus gives me:

#> cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost
IMAP Password:
  Login failed: generic failure at
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 114
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with login as cyrus



This is exactly the error I get when I try "--auth login". Try with 
"--auth plain". If that is rejected as an unworthy mech, see if 
cyrus-sasl was compiled with the --enable-plain option. Failing that 
you can try it with "--auth CRAM-MD5". 

I need these configure settings :
./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-plain --enable-cram 
--enable-login

But i have only access by using:

#> cyradm --user cyrus --auth CRAM-MD5 localhost

[...]

In this configuration, PLAIN and LOGIN authentications use
saslauthd instead of sasldb.
Are you running saslauthd?
