Unable to auth...

[Kevin Williams]

Kevin Hanna,

Having just installed cyrus myself, I got a similar error.  It was one
of two things for me.  I forgot to create the users and their passwords
in the sasldb2 file (check to see if /etc/sasldb2 exists), OR I forgot
to change the owner of this file from root to cyrus.

It looks like you're setting up users for the old version of Sasl 1.x. 
If you're actually using a 2.x version, you must use the version 2
commands--saslpasswd2, etc...  This creates the sasldb2 file instead of
the sasldb file.  

I'd also double check to make sure the sasldb2 file is owned by cyrus.

Hope this helps,

Kevin Williams
