    hi ken,

    thanks for your reply.

    in the meanwhile i try gentoo, as other distributions don't give me the
    freedom i used to experience (compared to xBSD ;).

    however, it still does not work.

    i made sure that i have the appropriate plugin(s) installed (hm,
    'emerge' only has one for DIGEST, CRAM is missing) and the permissions
    of sasldb2 are okay.

    still i get:

    Mar 31 20:20:02 www imap[22824]: accepted connection
    Mar 31 20:20:02 www imap[22824]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 1
    Mar 31 20:20:02 www perl: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2

    when trying to login via 'cyradm -u cyrus localhost'...
