I'm struggling too but at a different stage...

the links referred to of Wil Cooley's

There's also a (still very rudimentary) example here:

http://nakedape.cc/info/Cyrus-IMAP-HOWTO/quickstart.html#id2900018

and here:

my problem...

but where the same 'cyrus' user and cyrus password is embedded in to
'horde' I get these errors. ( I have changed from MECH=shadow to
MECH=pam in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd RHEL ) but that only changes the
explanation in /var/log/messages...

Feb 15 17:51:29 srv1 imap(pam_unix)[22354]: authentication failure;
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=cyrus
Feb 15 17:51:31 srv1 saslauthd[22354]: do_auth         : auth failure:
[user=cyrus] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

Something in greater depth than Wil's site would be appreciated - he
doesn't cover what to do if it ain't workin' and at the moment, that
would seem to be a good topic for a couple of us.
