Yes, sure, will do.

OK, so I will skip that one.

My current problem is configuring saslauthd.

Both servers are configured to use pam_mysql (for imap/pop/smtp) and
talk successfully to the db on the new server.

IMAP works fine on both.

Also both Postfixes talk to the new db.

Only saslauthd on the new server is still pointing at the old db on the
old server.

I have

 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a rimap -O 10.1.0.3

which works successfully.

(10.1.0.3 is the VPN-IP of the old box, .4 the new one)

While

/usr/sbin/saslauthd -a rimap -O 10.1.0.4

or

/usr/sbin/saslauthd -a rimap -O 127.0.0.1

or

/usr/sbin/saslauthd -a pam (-r)

don't work.

Any new behavior in the newer cyrus-sasl?


# smtpd.conf

mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

same as on the old box ... hmm.
cyrus-imapd.conf was also copied and contains:

sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: plain login
sasl_log_level: 1

exactly the same pw works when I point saslauthd against the old
imap-server.

Is some encryption my problem?

pam_mysql package on new server has (gentoo-style) USEflags "openssl
sasl ssl" .... sounds promising ...


Now this is the last single thing needing the old DB ...

Thanks all, Stefan
