Sync_client retrying, but synctest works

[Cristian Seres]

Hi!

I have tried to get Cyrus replication working without success. It is RHEL
5.3 with standard cyrus-imap 2.3.7-2.

Synctest with -t "" succeeds, but sync_client -v -r gives "retrying in 15
seconds". Tcpdump shows that there is traffic in both cases.

Any help is appreciated.

sync_ lines in imapd.conf on imapmaster host:
***
sync_host: imapreplica.company.com
sync_authname: cyrus
sync_passwd: protected
***

The following does not work:
***
cyrus at imapmaster$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/sync_client -v -r
Can not connect to server 'imapreplica.company.com', retrying in 15 seconds
***

The following works:
***
cyrus at imapmaster$ synctest imapreplica.company.com -t ""
