  Good morning,
  we had some issue tomorow's morning - some users couldn't login to an
email system. We use ypages for distributing passwd maps, authorizing
daemon is saslauthd.
  Some users logged in, some not. "Unauthorized" users made a record to
the syslog:
Nov 24 08:01:23 email1 saslauthd[10396]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate
failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module
Nov 24 08:01:23 email1 saslauthd[10396]: do_auth         : auth failure:
[user=username] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
Nov 24 08:01:23 email1 imap[26411]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1]
plaintext username SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed

  About this time +/- seconds I see in the mail log this complains of the
postfix to the cyrus's lmtp:
Nov 24 08:01:25 email1 postfix/lmtp[29859]: warning: 19535581B: non-LMTP
response from email1.fnhk.cz[public/lmtp]: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC:

  The username was in all 3 hosts maps, another users logged in, there is
no complains about network connections.

  This worked fine for an years, but this issue happened twice within 2
weeks.

  An administrators of the ypages servers don't see any problem or logs
about theirs server.

  What caused this issue ? What can I do to prevent it.

  Thanks and best regards
  J.Karliak
