Problems running CyrAdm

[Nikola Milutinovic]

Hi all.

Cyrus SASL 2.1.12
Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12
OpenSSL 0.9.7A
Perl 5.8.0 multi-threading
Perl 5.6.1
Tru64 UNIX 4.0D

The compile of PERL packages goes fine, so does install. When running them, I 
have two sets of problems.

Perl 5.8.0 MultiThreading
-------------------------

# ./cyradm

Perl 5.6.1 (connecting to Cyrus IMAP 2.1.5)
-------------------------------------------

# ./cyradm
cyradm> connect mercury.ev.co.yu
Password:
server: mercury.ev.co.yu: cannot authenticate

Now, when I check in the logs, I get this:

Apr 17 07:45:14 Mercury master[13736]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/imapd
Apr 17 07:45:14 Mercury imap[13736]: executed
Apr 17 07:45:14 Mercury imapd[13736]: accepted connection
Apr 17 07:45:18 Mercury imapd[13736]: badlogin: Uprava.ev.co.yu[192.168.61.11] 
OTP [SASL(-13): authentication failure: External SSF not good enough]

Perl 5.6.1 (connecting to Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12)
-------------------------------------------
# ./cyradm
cyradm> connect legba.ev.co.yu
Password:

And log reads:

Apr 17 07:42:43 Legba master[24669]: about to exec /usr/sbin/imapd
Apr 17 07:42:43 Legba imap[24669]: executed

QUESTIONS
---------

While I can accept that maybe Perl 5.8.0-MT is buggy (I've ran all the tests, 
but I cannot guarantee), I stay puzzled with the mechanisms used. Why does it 
use OTP and NTLM, instead of PLAIN (or one of the MD5s, if it wants to be really 
secure). IMAP is using SASLDB. Method PLAIN works from telnet.

Nix.
