my last message which appears to have not actually made it to the list. 
sorry guys for the confusion, i'll start again. :-)

last night i wrote:

thanks for the pointers, people. in the end we got pwcheck to run but 
imapd still couldn't talk to it.

so rather than waste time on an old unsupported version we found cyrus2 
in debian unstable and installed that. (i'm supposed to have this 
system in production on the weekend, erk..)

now i think i have a sasl problem. what do you make of this?

i've created the user cyrus in the sasldb:

humphrey:/home/stewart# sasldblistusers
user: cyrus realm: humphrey mech: PLAIN

but can't connect:

humphrey:/home/stewart# cyradm -user cyrus localhost
IMAP Password:
Login failed: user not found at /usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 
118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server as user cyrus

and i wondered if this might not have something to do with it:

humphrey:/home/stewart# dpkg -l|grep sasl
ii  libsasl2       2.1.12-1       Authentication abstraction library
ii  libsasl7       1.5.27-3       Authentication abstraction library.
ii  sasl-bin       1.5.27-3       Programs for manipulating the SASL 
users dat
ii  sasl2-bin      2.1.12-1       Programs for manupulating the SASL 
users dat

two sasl packages installed.

so just now i did an apt-get remove libsasl7 sasl-bin  and apart from 
it trying and failing to completely remove slapd i now only have the 
newer version of sasl. (and a broken slapd but that issue can wait...)

trouble is, i still can't connect to the server, user (still) not 
found. have removed /etc/sasldb* and ran saslpasswd2 to try again, as 
well.

now very tired grumpy and stuck. i don't want to have to go back to 
uw-imap but at this late stage it might be my only option... i just 
hope i'm missing something obvious?

cheers,
..S.

ps oh, by the way, the tip about syslog/imap/debugging doesn't seem to 
work here either ...
