They communicate via unix domain sockets. There should be a testsaslauthd binary that you can compile in the sasl distribution, something like in sasl-2.1.x/saslauthd: make testsaslauthd ./testsaslauthd -u username -p password If you are getting "unknown password verifier" that implies to me that for whatever reason the library that imapd is using was not built with --with-saslauthd (or there is a misspelling somewhere, like the conf file). -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 235 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
