Problem to access local mail (no recognized SASL authenticator)

[somefa...@no.news.is.good.news]

Hi

I run into some problem reading my mail. I have two computers, one
configured as server (runs 24/7 with imapd, fetchmail, postfix,
procmail) one a 'simple' client. Both have the very same .pinerc to
access my mail. I access the mail with ssh (ssh-path=/user/bin/ssh and
rimapd on the server)

I try to access the mail folders over IMAP with the following
configuration:

> inbox-path={myhost/user=me}/home/me/Mail/mailboxes/path/file

(myhost, me, path, and file are replaced in this example)

Accessing my mail from the client does work, but logging in with ssh on
the server doesn't work anymore. I get the following error (copies from
.pine-debug1 file):

> IMAP 17:44:08 7/21 mm_log babble: Trying IP address [127.0.0.1]
> IMAP 17:44:08 7/21 mm_log error: Server disables LOGIN, no recognized SASL authenticator

It used to work until I had to (move and thus) restart the server
yesterday. I didn't change anything on the server the last 4 weeks and
didn't have this problem.

Old server logs:
> daemon.log:
> Jul 16 16:19:36 myhost xinetd[23637]: START: imap pid=26472 from=127.0.0.1
> Jul 16 16:19:57 myhost xinetd[23637]: EXIT: imap pid=26472 duration=21(sec)
> mail.log:
> Jul 16 16:19:36 myhost imapd[26472]: imap service init from 127.0.0.1¶
> Jul 16 16:19:36 myhost imapd[26472]: Preauthenticated user=me host=localhost [127.0.0.1]¶

New server logs:
> daemon.log
> Jul 21 11:59:44 myhost xinetd[2330]: START: imap pid=7937 from=127.0.0.1
> Jul 21 11:59:44 myhost xinetd[2330]: EXIT: imap pid=7937 duration=0(sec)
> mail.log
> Jul 21 11:59:44 myhost imapd[7924]: imap service init from 127.0.0.1¶
> Jul 21 11:59:44 myhost imapd[7924]: Logout user=??? host=localhost [127.0.0.1]¶

How can I get it running again?

Thanks,
Andreas

Don't ask... I did some thinking about the configuration and added my
local ssh pub.key to authorized_keys2 and it's working again. I didn't
change the authorized_keys2 in the last two month (I checked the date on
the backup). Does sshd cache the keys? I don't know. I don't care, as
it's working again :-)
