login fail

[Friedemann Schorer]

Hi,
in order to have my multifunction printer both send and receive emails I 
added POP3 services to /etc/cyrus.conf:

> START {
> # do not delete this entry!
> recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
> idled cmd="idled"
> }
> # UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into 
> /var/lib/imap/sockets
> SERVICES {
> imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="127.0.0.1:9993" prefork=5
> sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
> ptloader cmd="ptloader" listen="/var/lib/imap/ptclient/ptsock" 
> prefork=0
> lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1

POP3 services can be reached via port 110 and 995 OK.
Now I tried to add a POSIX user named "scanner" Kolab Webadmin said OK, 
done - but it won't show up nowhere. And I got to admit, I forgot to 
write down his randomly generated password.
OK, let's try something else - I created a Kolab User with the login 
handle "scanner2" - but I can't login:

> user at host ~ $ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect schorers.org:995
> CONNECTED(00000003)
> [ ... SSL stuff removed ... ]
> +OK cardhu Cyrus POP3 2.5.11-41-gd53406f3f-Debian-2.5.11.41-0~kolab1 
> server ready <14367161135700903537.1509035621 at cardhu>
> USER scanner2
> +OK Name is a valid mailbox
> PASS XXXXXXXX
> -ERR [AUTH] Invalid login
> quit
> +OK

Restarted kolab-saslauthd, kolab-server, postfix and guam services, but 
to no avail. Access is denied, mail.log shows a SASL error -13

So, here's some questions:
- where did that user "scanner" go ???
- more important: why does login keep failing

Running Kolab 16 on Debian Etch.

       any hint appreciated :-D
