Bug#400747: cyrus-murder-2.2: unspecified saslclient() error

[Jochen Radmacher]

Package: cyrus-murder-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-9
Severity: important


When trying to run a cyrus murder setup my frontend client cannot connect to the mupdate server, the local mupdate and the lmtpproxy fail both with the same error,
this setup was running fine with the same settings before the update (AUTHTYPE PLAIN):
Nov 28 14:11:42 mailcluster-frontend cyrus/lmtp[4428]: authentication to remote mupdate server failed: unspecified saslclient() error
Nov 28 14:11:42 mailcluster-frontend cyrus/lmtp[4428]: couldn't connect to mailcluster-master: no authentication to server

Nov 28 14:33:45 mailcluster-frontend cyrus/mupdate[4603]: authentication to remote mupdate server failed: unspecified saslclient() error

Nov 28 14:33:45 mailcluster-frontend cyrus/mupdate[4603]: retrying connection to mupdate server in 28 seconds

Running a connection test with mupdatetest work fine (password removed in output):
mupdatetest -u frontend -a frontend -w '********************************' 10.10.11.21
