Problems with replication

[plate at bibliothek.uni-kassel.de]

Hi,

I have a strange problem setting up replication from one Linux to another.
Both machines run cyrus 2.4.17, master is Gentoo (32 bit), replica is
Debian 8 (64 bit).

I am running a similar pair with Gentoo / Debian 7 w/o any problems.

Problems start with synctest:

synctest -a cyrus at replica -m PLAIN  -v -p 2005 replica
S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN
AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 SASL-IR] replica Cyrus IMAP
v2.4.17-caldav-beta10-Debian-2.4.17+caldav~beta10-18 server ready

Please enter your password:
C: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S: S: AUTHENTICATE BAD Please login first
base64 decoding error
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0

replica just logs
cyrus/master[11225]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/sync_server
cyrus/syncserver[11225]: executed
cyrus/syncserver[11225]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine
cyrus/syncserver[11225]: accepted connection
cyrus/master[11178]: process 11225 exited, status 0

Trying with sync_client just says

Can not connect to server 'replica', retrying in 15 seconds

I can do imtest with same credentials, cyrus at replica is admin - works
perfect. Any ideas, please ?
