Hi.  I am trying to set up postfix and cyrus.  the issue i am having  
is with the pop3d.  here is my imapd config file:

timeout:                30
poptimeout:             10
configdirectory:        /var/imap
partition-default:      /var/spool/imap
sievedir:               /var/imap/sieve
tls_ca_path:            /etc/ssl/certs
tls_cert_file:          /etc/ssl/cyrus/server.crt
tls_key_file:           /etc/ssl/cyrus/server.key
admins:                 cyrus
hashimapspool:          yes
allowanonymouslogin:    no
allowplaintext:         yes
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5

when i try to connect i get the following in the auth log:

Nov 12 21:38:52 dellp4 pop3[15227]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on  
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql
Nov 12 21:43:51 dellp4 pop3[15257]: SQL engine 'mysql' not supported
Nov 12 21:43:51 dellp4 pop3[15257]: SQL engine 'mysql' not supported
Nov 12 21:43:51 dellp4 pop3[15257]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism  
available
Nov 12 21:43:51 dellp4 pop3[15257]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on  
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql

why is it trying to use mysql?

loaction of sasldb2 file is /etc/sasl2/sasldb2
location of imapd.conf is /etc/imapd.conf

sasldblistusers2 sasldb2 command properly shows my users.

only thing i can think of is a different conf file being read, but I  
can't find any other ones on my system.

OS: Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8

Thank You for any help.
