Hello,

yes, and I found one weird thing, maybe you can tell me what this is 
supposed to mean.

Settings are all as below said, and it the weird thing is it worked for 
user cyrus and not for user administrator. I tried it as user vnh (which 
is just another user on the system - but contrary to the others not in 
sasldb. (which I checked with sasldblistusers2) and i could login with 
no problems. when I tried to reset the pwd of administrator (

#saslpasswd2 administrator

)and relogin I still couldn't login:
0: NO "authentication failed"

When I set the password with passwd I could login afterwards. So it 
looks as if it doesn't check the sasldb for the users but the 
/etc/passwd . How come? imapd.conf says:

> sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
