good idea but it doesn't solve my problem

Not sure what my problem is actually - but suspect at the feet of the
problem is saslauthd

[root at srv1 imap]# telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

[root at srv1 imap]# sieveshell -a alec localhost

PLAIN authentication failure

clue is imapd.conf uses ldap... - I have tried MECH=pam MECH=shadow
MECH=ldap (same settings in /etc/saslauthd.conf) and /var/log/messages
reports the failures...

when I try sieveshell -a alec localhost
Mar 15 19:58:27 srv1 sieve[2561]: user alec is not allowed to proxy
Mar 15 19:58:27 srv1 perl: No worthy mechs found

when I try sieveshell -u alec localhost
Mar 15 19:58:50 srv1 saslauthd[2492]: do_auth         : auth failure:
[user=root] [service=sieve] [realm=] [mech=shadow] [reason=Unknown]
Mar 15 19:58:50 srv1 sieve[2568]: Password verification failed
Mar 15 19:58:50 srv1 perl: No worthy mechs found

or with MECH=ldap
Mar 15 20:00:29 srv1 saslauthd[2612]: do_auth         : auth failure:
[user=root] [service=sieve] [realm=] [mech=ldap] [reason=Unknown]
Mar 15 20:00:29 srv1 sieve[2619]: Password verification failed
Mar 15 20:00:29 srv1 perl: No worthy mechs found

My thinking was to blame SELINUX (CENTOS 4) but there is no log of proof
on that that I'm aware of...

I am perplexed
