Here they go attached.

Also, while googl'ing for this problem, it actually seems that it's the
libsasl circular re-entrance problem like the one also reported but for
libsasl 1.5

My conclusion is, if I remove those ldap entries from the nsswitch.conf
it all works good, if they're there, that's when problem occur.

Executing:
cyradm --user postmaster at ufsoft.org deb
IMAP Password: at /usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 119
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server as postmaster at ufsoft.org

Gives me:
Mar 27 01:02:52 deb cyrus/master[8816]: about to exec
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd
Mar 27 01:02:52 deb cyrus/imap[8816]: executed
Mar 27 01:02:52 deb cyrus/imap[8816]: accepted connection
Mar 27 01:02:54 deb cyrus/master[23729]: process 8816 exited, signaled
to death by 6
Mar 27 01:02:54 deb cyrus/master[23729]: service imap pid 8816 in BUSY
state: terminated abnormally

I also get a bunch of:
Mar 27 01:04:03 deb cyrus/imap[8869]: auxpropfunc error invalid
parameter supplied
Mar 27 01:04:03 deb cyrus/imap[8869]: _sasl_plugin_load failed on
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb
Mar 27 01:04:03 deb perl: No worthy mechs found

Although I don't know if they're related.

Without those ldap entries in nsswitch.conf
Mar 27 01:05:07 deb cyrus/master[8896]: about to exec
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd
Mar 27 01:05:07 deb cyrus/imap[8896]: executed
