Could sombody please explain this?
If I do: cyradm -u cyrus localhost
I get prompted for "IMAP password:"
I then type the password once entered from the standard passwd command and I am in
and can create mailboxes.
If I do: cyradm -u cyrus myhost.mydomain.net I get the prompt "password" Then I fill in the password set by standard unix password and get a new prompt. This time for The IMAP password. If I enter the same password again cyradm fails on line 118 of Admin.pm
The host myhost.mydomain.net is in /etc/hosts, just like localhost and both end up at the same host
just different network addresses (127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.19). I can ping the host using both names,
and files is set to take precedence over dns in my /etc/nsswitch.conf
It seams to me tha different auhentication mechanisms are at play here.
MECH in /etc/sysconfig/saslauth is set to pam.
So why do I get different prompts and why is authentication successful if I use localhost?
