strange authentication error

[Mark J. Lilback]

Hi. I'm running in to a strange authentication problem and was hoping 
someone could point me in the right direction.

I've configured cyrus-imapd-2.1.10 on a Solaris 8 box, along with 
cyrus-sasl-2.1.9.

My imap.conf contains the following lines related to authentication:
admins: mailadmin
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd


I've started saslauthd as "saslauthd -a pam".

I then run "cyradm --user=mailadmin localhost" and enter the 
password. I get a "cannot authenticate to server" message.

In /var/adm/messages the following gets logged:
imapd[7811]: [ID 702911 auth.error] unable to open Berkeley db no: No 
such file or directory

The message used to read "/etc/sasldb2" instead of "no" before I 
recompiled sasl with --without-dbpath.

Why is imapd trying to read the sasldb2 file instead of using 
saslauthd and pam?

Also, I've set CYRUS_VERBOSE=1 in my environment and run master with 
the -D option and nothing ever gets output to my terminal. I've tried 
higher numbers, too. Isn't that suppose to provide debugging 
information?

Thanks.
