sieve problems

hello list,

i have a problem with sieve that i'm having a very hard time working
out: i'm running on fedora core 3 and have tried versions from 2.1.19
thru to the the latest stable 2.2.12

essentially, i cannot connect to sieve server process thru sivtest or
sieveshell

there are two pertinent threads that i followed, but to no avail:

[1] http://www.mail-archive.com/info-
cyrus at lists.andrew.cmu.edu/msg10774.html

[2] http://oss.gonicus.de/pipermail/gosa/2004-December/000085.html

[1] describes the exact issue as does [2] -- theoretically this was
fixed in a previous version.


any help would be greatly appreciated!

cheers

saslauthd successfully uses ldap for its auth mechanism:

here's some output generated by my server:

[root]# saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.19
authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap

[root]# testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p tototo -s sieve localhost
0: OK "Success."

--during the last command, here's saslauthd debugging:

saslauthd[7357]:do_auth:auth success: [user=cyrus] [service=sieve]
[realm=] [mech=ldap]
saslauthd[7357] :do_request      : response: OK

[root]# cyradm --user cyrus --authz cyrus localhost

--during the last command, here's saslauthd debugging:
saslauthd[8006] :do_auth         : auth success: [user=cyrus]
[service=imap] [realm=] [mech=ldap]
saslauthd[8006] :do_request      : response: OK

here's the sivtest and sieveshell tests -- saslauthd reports OK for the
auth:

[root]# sieveshell --user cyrus --authname cyrus localhost
