Hello, and thanks for providing your support to this list.  

I am struggling with my configuration of Cyrus-SASL authdaemond-based
authentication, and thought this list might be able to help me. 

My configuration is as follows:

/etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc:

|  authmodulelist="authpam authuserdb"
|  authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authpam authshadow authcustom
|			authpipe"
|  daemons=5
|  authdaemonvar=/var/lib/courier/authdaemon
|  DEBUG_LOGIN=0
|  DEFAULTOPTIONS=""
|  LOGGEROPTS=""

/etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf:

|  pwcheck_method:authdaemond
|  pwcheck_method:saslauthd
|  mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

----

When I try to authenticate and send, the logs say:

Mar 28 11:20:26 zeus postfix/smtpd[11738]: warning: SASL authentication
failure: cannot connect to Courier authdaemond: Connection refused

----

I can log on to courier-imap services just fine, both with pam and
userdb logins.  However, neither seem to work with cyrus-sasl.  

Can anyone provide some light on this situation?  It looks like
Cyrus-SASL can't talk to authdaemond.  

Thanks very much, 

	Dan Farrell
