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
