Hi. I'm trying to do this the SUSE way, but not clear as to what that is. The problem was when I first created the sasldb2 file, it was set for owner/group as root, which CRYADM could not read to allow me to set up my cyrus mailboxes. I did not want all to read that file, so that is why I changed it to cyrus/mail. Many thanks for pointing out the importance of proper controll on the sasldb2 file. I'm still not sure if this is correct or not, or more importantly secure, but it is working. Not sure what dorked squirrelmail. Still working on that.
Many thanks,
Jim
You should have a /etc/init.d/saslauthd or similar script to start a daemon that controls access to the info. Here are the first few lines of the Debian script: !/bin/sh -e NAME=saslauthd DAEMON="/usr/sbin/${NAME}" DESC="SASL Authentication Daemon" DEFAULTS=/etc/default/saslauthd PWDIR=/var/run/saslauthd PIDFILE="/var/run/${NAME}/saslauthd.pid" At some point it starts saslauthd Surely Suse has some docs for you to read:-)
