trouble settting up cyrus

[Maik Knittel]

I can't get cyrus working. I'm trying to install version
2.1.12 with SASLv2 on a debian 3.0 system. I don't want
to create debian users for every imap user so I'd like
to use the sasldb athentication. I don't want to use
PAM/mySQL.

I've got the cyrus daemon running but I can't login
either with cyradm nor imtest. I've already created
a sasl user with saslpasswd2, but the log still says:

badlogin: XXXXX.XXXXXXX[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] DIGEST-MD5 [SASL(-13): user not
found: no secret in database]

imtest says:

imtest -u cyrus localhost

entries in imapd.conf:

sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb2

I have no clue about auxprop. Do I have to conifigure
it separately? Am I missing something?
