I wondered about that, having noticed the saslpasswd2 command. So I used it to set the same password as I had set with straight passwd. There was no change; imtest still failed the same way. >If you wish to only use saslauthd, to authenticate against pam for >instance, then restrict the mechanisms offered by the server with: > >sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN That line was not in the supplied imapd.conf. Now that I've added it, imtest succeeds. Thanks a bunch! It seems to me that something about the default Fedora packages doesn't match the description offered at the cyrusimap.org help page (<https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/download/installation/distributions/fedora.html>). Perhaps someone should make a few updates. Now that I'm past this obsticle, I'll take the time to go back and try to understand the details better. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 d...@compata.com dhcl...@alumni.caltech.edu "Email is the 'file system' for people that aren't geeks.
