Here is your problem. User imap cannot read /etc/sasldb2 which is owned by root, I believe. Change ownership of /etc/sasldb2 to imap.
OK, that works! I set permission on that file to be user "cyrus" with group "mail". All seems to be working fine now. Is the group "mail" the correct (and safe) setting?
Depends. Basically the file just needs to be readable for cyrus. My /etc/sasldb2 is -rw-r----- cyrus:root As long as you're manipulating the sasldb as root (running saslpasswd2 from the commandline) there is no need for the group 'mail' ownership.
Many thanks to you, Ciro and notably Jon for your help. The link and other info Jon sent was most helpful.
"We aim to please" :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate that US tradition.
Indeed. /Jon -- YMMV
