Cyrus21 sieve: PLAIN no mechanism available

[Roland Rosenfeld <rrosenfeld@netcologne.de>]

Hi!

I have a big problem with cyrus21 timsieved, which doesn't
authenticate.  IMAP and POP3 authentication works without problems
with saslauthd and pam/mysql.  In contrast to this timsieved gives me
the following error messages:

Sep 18 10:16:25 sys-100 cyrus/timsieved[4825]: Couldn't find mech PLAIN
Sep 18 10:16:25 sys-100 cyrus/timsieved[4825]: badlogin:
                        localhost[127.0.0.1] PLAIN no mechanism available 

when I run make test on perlsieve or try out websieve.

Currently I use the following configuration (/etc/imapd.conf): 

configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus
partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail
admins: administrator
allowanonymouslogin: no
autocreatequota: 50000
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
sievedir: /var/spool/sieve
dracinterval: 0
drachost: localhost
hashimapspool: true
allowplaintext: yes
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
lmtpsocket: /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp
idlesocket: /var/run/cyrus/socket/idle
notifysocket: /var/run/cyrus/socket/notify
servername: sys-100.netcologne.de
reject8bit: no
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 30
poptimeout: 10
sieve_maxscriptsize: 32
sieve_maxscripts: 5

which is based on
http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO-test/html/cyrus-config.html

Any ideas, what's going wrong here or where I should search?

Tschoeeee
