Run this: # saslauthd -a shadow # testsaslauthd -u username -p password Does it succeed? If yes (it should) then you can switch to Cyrus SASL authentication for users in shadow. >> Does it work for you? >> > No Thomas, so far NO LUCK at all. It seems that SASL_AUTH is not really > working for me. Wonder how I can troubleshoot that? I have seen parts of your dovecot.conf, but no evidence you are able to login over IMAP. Can you? If you can, make sure user postfix can read+write the Dovecot socket. Then check that smtpd (master.cf) is not running chrooted. Your Postfix SASL settings looked okay in the recent postings. How do you test? Do a telnet session. Download gen-auth <http://jetmore.org/john/code/gen-auth> and create a PLAIN authentication string. Use that in an ESMTP session: $telnet ... EHLO ... ... AUTH PLAIN AUTH <STRING> <result> If the result is a failure, send verbose log and (!) replace the string and the username password in the log. If you don't see AUTH at all, kill PIX, firewalls, desktop firewalls etc. p...@rick > > Thx. -- state of mind Agentur für Kommunikation, Design und Softwareentwicklung Patrick Koetter Tel: 089 45227227 Echinger Strasse 3 Fax: 089 45227226 85386 Eching Web: http://www.state-of-mind.de Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563
