SASL and Scientific Linux

[Remi Ferrand]

Hi,

I've tested the exact same operations (install from scratch and yum
install cyrus-sasl) on Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL 4) and cyrus-sasl 2.1.19
5.EL4, everything works perfectly fine with my first try...


With an RHEL 4 server (sasl2-sample-server) and an RHEL 5 client
(sasl2-sample-client), everything works fine...

With an RHEL 5 server (sasl2-sample-server) and an RHEL 4 client
(sasl2-sample-client), authentication failed...

The problem is clearly with a RHEL 5 acting as a sasl server
(server_start())...

Is there any known bug or issue with 2.1.22 5.el5_4.3 / with RHEL 5 ?

Thanks

Cheers

R.
