Sync_client syncserver problem when adding user to sasldb2

[Stephen Carr]

Dear All

I have had a problem that sync_client cannot authenticate to the 
replica  with a badlogin a few times and now found a workaround.

Version of cyrus-imapd 2.4.6 and sasl  2.1.23

What happened  (see parts of log below)

At 10:23 added new user to sasldb2 then there is a delay before the 
badlogin occurs when the sync_client does a RESTART

The fix was to su cyrus and run at 10:53:59

sync_client -o -v -l -u user.AAAAAA

Then all was OK

Note the sync_client has the same process ID 28563 but the syncserver 
process IDs changed from 13636 to 13919 then 13925.

The server is quite busy during this period and I noticed the log file 
in the sync directory growing.

Regards
Stephen Carr
