Hi,

I have a frustrating issue authenticating with sieveshell. This was all
working until yesterday, where an apt-get upgrade on the machine changed a
couple of things - amoung them, I think, the sasl libraries and some perl
stuff.

I can still successfully connect to imap using cyradm, and all users can
happily use imap and pop services on the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can telnet localhost 2000 and see:

pluto:/var/log# telnet localhost 2000

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

Escape character is '^]'.

"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3.11"

"SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN"

"SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags
notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"

OK

Attempting to log in using sieveshell -u phil -u phil locahost gives this
message:

sieve[25752]: badlogin: localhost[127.0.0.1] LOGIN generic failure

I am using saslauthd started like this:

                /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a shadow

My cyrus.conf

                sieve cmd="timsieved -C /etc/imapdlocal.conf"
listen="127.0.0.1:sieve" prefork=0

My imapdlocal.conf

Cheers
