Can anyone provide pointers for getting Cyrus IMAP to authenticate via PAM
to system accounts on FreeBSD RELENG_4_5?
I installed Cyrus from ports, and have lines in /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf
like:
# The mechanism used by the server to verify plaintext passwords.
# Possible
# values also include "PAM", "sasldb", "kerberos_v4", "passwd", and
# "shadow"
#
sasl_pwcheck_method: pam
/usr/local/lib/sasl/Cyrus.conf also has:
pwcheck_method: pam
However, system accounts are not authenticating, such as via this test:
bash-2.05a# imtest -v -m login -u minter localhost
C: C01 CAPABILITY
S: * OK carlton.skiltech.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready
S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID
NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5
S: C01 OK Completed
Password: [ENTERED CORRECT SYSTEM PASSWORD]
C: L01 LOGIN root {7}
+ go ahead
C: <omitted>
L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0
Any tips will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Wade
