I am trying to get virtual email domains running with postfix and cyrus. I installed them both from I apt. I haven't gotten very far and am now getting errors when trying to use cyradm. It seems like this is a somewhat common error according to my googleing, but I have not been able to find a solution. I running woody with the woody apt sources.
I added a cyrus user to the sasldb via:
# echo password | saslpasswd -p -c cyrus
I checked the /var/log/auth.log and it tells me:
saslpasswd: PLAIN: set secret for cyrus
so it looks like it is set right. but when I use cyradm I get the following:
# cyradm -u cyrus localhost localhost password: application-spacific initialization failed: authentication failed %
So, what could I be doing wrong? Here is my imapd.conf if it will help:
# Debian Cyrus imapd.conf # See imapd.conf(5) for more information
# Configuration directory configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus
# Which partition to use for default mailboxes defaultpartition: default partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail
# News setup partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news newsspool: /var/spool/news
# Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who # have admin rights admins: cyrus mailadmin
# No anonymous logins allowanonymouslogin: no
# Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes popminpoll: 1
# umask used by Cyrus programs umask: 077
#sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd pwcheck_method= sasldb
If you notice those last two lines, I have tried with and without both with the same result. I also created a real user named cyrus and game it rights to sasldb... and tried all of the above logged in as cyrus.
any ideas?
thanks a million!
