Hi, CM> Why doesn't /etc/sasldb exist? You did create the imap users with CM> saslpasswd, right? no, I want to use the existing passwd/shadow-entrys for authentification (I have been told this works). After reading in the cyrus-howto and checking the imapd.conf I found out that it used pam for authentification. the howto says:
If you don't want your password check to be the default sasldb, you must specify which one of PAM, kerberos_v4, passwd, shadow you wish to use. If PAM is the authentication you desire for example, you would type: sasl_passwd_check: pam
So I changed it to
sasl_passwd_check: shadow
I'm not sure if this works because I couldn't test it yet.
I think this imapd.conf-entry also controls the pop3-part of the
cyrus-imapd (?) but I'm not sure...
Bye.
