cyrus chokes after few logins

[Martin G.H. Minkler]

Solved!

It was the low entropy of /dev/random - after disallowing APOP 
everything is just fine. Apparently the default for APOP is _enabled_ - 
to turn it off it needs to be explicitly set to allowapop: no. Manpage 
doesn't state that either ~:-/

If I was to enable APOP, how could I set the random source though?

Didn't find any documentation in the manpages for saslauthd oder imapd.conf.

Also still looking for dox on the sasl_min/max_layers, grateful for any 
hints.

Thank You ever so much for the quick and competent response!
