PAM Authentication error...

[Emma Grant]

Thanks for your reply. 

I ended up fixing the error by adding "account required
/lib/security/pam_permit.so" at the top of my pop file in pam.d/pop

I first tried pam_warn.so, and that told me that my account had expired,
and since the really is no system account - email is virtual - I figured
that is why it was giving the error. After adding pam_permit I have had
no more auth errors.

But now I am  getting the error: 

	-ERR [SYS/PERM] Unable to locate maildrop

any ideas? 

Testsaslauthd? Where would I find this on RH ES? Do I still need it now
I am not getting auth errors? 

Thanks, 
Emma

Compile the testsaslauthd program in the SASL distro, and make sure that

you can authenticate before moving on to Cyrus.
