Let me know how that works please. I'm using pam because I pull users from ldap and the cyrus admin from /etc/passwd, but I'd be interested in using the ldap mech too. I'm running Debian stable here, but sasl and cyrus are compiled from source. Andy On Mon, 19 Jul 2004, Lenny wrote: >

Fedora Core 1's saslauthd doesn't seem to like me setting the mech to ldap. This works great on Core 2, but I'm not in a postition to migrate all the cyrus servers to Fedora Core 2 as of yet. So this is a temporary problem for me :) Lenny -- "Wisdom is to a man an infinite Treasure" - Anonymous"

pam is known to leak memory on some OSs. This is really not saslauthd problem. Have you tried to use saslauthd built-in ldap mech? -Igor On Mon, 19 Jul 2004, Lenny wrote: > Using the pam mech which in turn is authing against an openldap server. > > I've tried the -n0 flag that was just mentio
