Re: Cyrus-IMAPD and LDAP

["Tarjei Huse" <tarjei@nu.no>]

Hi, this prolbem seems to come because cyrus demands that you use tls when 
authenticating using the PLAIN mechanism, thus the process stops when using 
pam-ldap and cyrus 2.x. I suggest using the sasl-ldap patch for now, 
hopefully ldap will be supported in the up and comming cyrus-sasl 2.0 
package.
