I finally upgraded my mail server that had been running FC1. I use sendmail and other remote users used POP3 to fetch their mail. IMAP was also used by SquirrelMail for some web users. All worked well. After the upgrade, the old POP and IMAP progs were gone and Cyrus was installed. Now when a user attempts to pull mail using IMAP or POP, they get authenticate errors. I ran IMTEST and this was the result. /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imtest -m login -a user localhost S: * OK localhost.localdomain Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.10-Invoca-RPM-2.2.10-3.fc2 server ready C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE IDLE STARTTLS LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED X-NETSCAPE S: C01 OK Completed Please enter your password: C: L01 LOGIN user {7} S: + go ahead C: <omitted> S: L01 NO Login failed: generic failure Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 0 I get similar results with pop3test.

The old IMAP and POP3 progs worked right out of the box. I've been running through the archives, google, the "HOW-TO" and nothing I've found fixes this problem. I've check DB4 and that appears OK too. Pointer or tips anyone? Mike W -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by F-Prot and MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
