    Hello everyone!

    Iam trying to setup a mailserver with postfix, cyrus-imap, cyrus-sasl,
    mysql, pam_mysql on Redhat Enterprise 4.

    Everything seems to work ok accept when I use cyradm to login on my imap
    server.

    root> cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain
    root>password: <---- this is where my maillog spits out an error message
    ( imap[2302]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] PLAIN [SASL(-16): encryption
    needed to use mechanism: security flags do not match required] )

    root>IMAP password: <--- this checks against mysql and seems to work fine..
    I get into my imap server after this.

    here is a paste of my maillog after I tried this.

    Jul 26 09:28:50 mail56 imap[2302]: accepted connection
    Jul 26 09:28:51 mail56 imap[2302]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] PLAIN
    [SASL(-16): encryption needed to use mechanism: security flags do not match
    required]
    Jul 26 09:28:55 mail56 imap[2302]: login: localhost [127.0.0.1] cyrus
    plaintext User logged in

    Ive been on this, googling, reading asking.. for a cpl of weeks now and it
    starts to get on my nervs.
    Can anyone give me a hint on what to do here?

    A couple of notes:

    1. postfix works fine, it also authenticates fine, I can send and resieve
    mail
    2. imap works, I can login to my imap server from outlook express, and view
    my mails.
    3. I tryed to auth against sasldb with testsasl, and imtest. It works
    without any problems.
    4. I prolly read every post out ther about this problem and noone gives a
    clear answer why this problem exists =)

    If someone want to explain to me why the first authentication is ther for I
    would also be glad =)

    cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain
    >password <----- why this one? what is it supposed to contact? Ive read
    that its contacting sasldb2, but when I run saslauthd in debugmode I see
    nothing
    >IMAP password <----- this one makes sence, it checks my mysql tables and
    this also works and lets me into my imap server, even tho the first pw auth
    fails.

    Here is my a few of my confs
