For some reason sasl is trying to query a sql database. Is it possible that the programs you installed redirected the sasl query from sasldb to sql? If for some reason it installed a pam plugin that says sql is required you are out of luck. Please check to documentation of these programs.
The imap.conf specifies sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop and the above message complains about auxprop. How do I fixe this? Or are there alternatives?
I did this setup from a howto and I don't know sals or cyrus well at all. I'll include the relevant config files. Any ideas on what might be wrong would be welcome.
You do have a backup of your setup, right? How is saslauthd called and configured in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd? Sandy
