(Cyrus??) Date: 21 Dec 1996 07:51:26 GMT Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Lines: 21 Message-ID: <19961221075000.CAA20926@ladder01.news.aol.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ladder01.news.aol.com X-Admin: news@aol.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:5478 I'm trying to get the Cyrus IMAP4 ver. 1.4 to compile and run properly on BSDI 2.1. I did get it to compile, after hand tweaking the configure file, and a little hack on setproctitle.c in the /imapd source files. When I finally got it in and running, everything seemed to work except for user authentication. No matter who you login as, it always comes back with "bad password nologin". So I turned on anonymous login with any password, and bingo, anonymous login worked. It would seem that Cyrus and BSDI don't agree on how to do user authentication. There's probably more stuff to deal with, but that is as far as I got. Any ideas? I'd like to implement IMAP4 mail, but the budget will probably only allow a "freeware" server. I also have a binary only distribution of BSDI 2.1. Cyrus is the only server I've found so far. Maybe I should look at something else? Thanks, and email would be appreciated.
