I know for a fact that postfix and cyrus can read the keytab since wrong permissions correctly give a permission denied in the log file. I also verified that the correct files was chosen using strace.
I also tried using dovecot as a sasl auth backend. It gave me the same cryptic kerberos error response as cyrus. I also have imap setup in dovecot and it works without issues with GSSAPI. I can't understand why SMTP refuses to work. log/dovecot.log: Aug 22 15:45:35 auth: Info: gssapi(?,192.168.0.150): While processing incoming data: Unspecified GSS failure.
