Hi,

Has anyone setup sendmail with cyrus-imapd and saslauthd? I'm following the RHAT instructions on http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_79_5254.shtm by at the step where I run cyradm I receive and error.
Results are listed below.

Thanks,
TimJowers

Attempt to login to cyrus-imapd to setup accounts.
[root@serviza mail]# cyradm --user cyrus serviza.com
IMAP Password:
Login failed: generic failure at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118

Verify the service is indeed running:
[root@serviza mail]# service saslauthd status
saslauthd (pid 5345 5342 5341 5340 5339) is running...

Verify the username is indeed in the list:
[root@serviza mail]# sasldblistusers
user: cyrus realm: localhost mech: PLAIN
user: cyrus realm: localhost mech: CRAM-MD5

I do not have lines in here about the sasl_mysql... but the sasl commands to seem to add users and be able to list them. I do not see any sasl db in my mysql server.
