Ok so I've upgraded my box from FC4->FC5 and now I'm having problems 
trying to authenticate to my wu-imapd.  I get the following error after 
trying to login:

--snip /var/log/maillog --
Mar 25 20:18:14 palmer imapd[12696]: imaps SSL service init from 
192.168.246.198
Mar 25 20:18:14 palmer imapd[12696]: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN failure 
host=[192.168.246.198]
--end snip--

So looking at SSLBUILD for wu-imap it typical problem for this is that 
plain passwords itsn't enabled. I've rebuilt the imapd with SSLTYPE=unix 
and the problem is still there. Any thoughts?

The next step would be to turn debugging on although I'm not sure how to 
do this via xinetd?  Or via pam if thats the problem?

The only other thing that I can think that might present a problem would 
be that I have a self signed cert that I haven't changed after the 
upgrade. (Its in /usr/share/ssl/certs)

Any thoughs?
Thanks
Ryan
