    A message from Joel Rennich to the Mac OS X Server list:

    This is a result of Cyrus trying to use the /usr/lib/sasl2/pwauxprop
    SASL plugin. It appears that this plugin handles password policies such
    as minimum length and whether the user has to have numbers in the
    password or not. Use of this plugin requires reading in the password
    server database in /var/db/authserver. When DirectoryServices calls
    this plugin it's running as root, so it can easily read the database
    in. However, Cyrus runs as the cyrus user which has no ability to read
    that file. As such the plugin fails. Since cyrus has no need to check
    password policy, you don't really have a way to change your pass
    through Cyrus, this isn't an issue.

    Thanks,

    Joel
