Ok, this is an authentication problem. Have you configured pam to search for
users/passwords at the mysql database?!
If not, check the files smtp, pop, imap and sieve at /etc/pam.d. They should
all look the same and contain the configurations to search mysql database
for users.
Here's a sample, in case you haven't changed those yet:
auth sufficient pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=secret host=localhost db=mail
table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1
logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
account required pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=secret host=localhost db=mail
table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1
logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
Make sure that the user= and password= settings reflects the ones you have
configured in your system. In case you haven't changed anything from the
default config, those should work fine.
Another thing. If I'm not mistaken, mysql changed encryption from 3.23 to
4.11 (wich is the mysql version present on FC4), so it *could* be and
encryption problem you're facing. The mysql logs would *REALLY* help you
now. I've checked, and all I did to add logs to mysql is
log=/var/log/filename at /etc/my.cnf. Google around and see if you can find
why your mysql isn't starting with that option at my.cnf.
Best of luck.

Subject: Re: [Web-cyradm] Error No. 13
I'm a little missed ..
First, I believed that the problem was with something over mysql, then
I've tried to start mysql with logs on. I changed /etc/my.cnf and added
log=/var/log/mysql.log under [mysqld] section, but mysql hangs with no
error in /var/log/mysql-error.log. If I delete the line, mysql runs fine.
Is something wrong in mysql installation? I don't know .. I think there is
nothing wrong, but ... (I can create dbs, tables, execute queries, etc
without problems) .
So I don't know how I can activate logs in mysql.
Another thing I've tried is execute the cyradm and imtest commands ..
These are the results :
imtest -a cyrus -v localhost
S: * OK fixmad01.subdomain.es.domain.com Cyrus IMAP4

cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as cyrus
and the same error on /var/log/maillog .
I've read in mailing list that this error (cyradm) is caused in Fedora
because /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd don't contain MECH=pam into it. I changed
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd some time ago, so this error is caused by another
thing that I don't know ..
Obviusly, There's something wrong on my system, but now I'm very confused
and need help. :-((
Thanks everybody in advance.

That's for who is compiling cyrus. FC4 has rpm's package for cyrus-imapd.
The locations for the folders are /var/spool/imap and /var/lib/imap.
Check out the owner of /var/lib/imap, but that should not be your
problem. I've installed cyrus-imapd on several FC (2 and 3) boxes, and
never had this specific problem. Never tried FC4, but as far as I can
see, that's not very different.
Can you feed us with some message and maillog log's from when the error
occurs?!
I'm thinking permission at mysql database. Try runnig mysql with logs on.
Change /etc/my.cnf and add log=/var/log/mysqlaccess.log at [mysqld]
section. Create /var/log/mysqlaccess.log, give it some writting
permission (666 should be fine, only for testing), restart the service
and see what happens. The answers are always in the logs.
Cheers,
Giovani
