I just updated to dovecot 1.1.10 from 1.1.2 and now anyone using cram-md5 can't get authenticated. I am using mysql for passwords (in plain text) and home directories.

Per some googling I tried to set (in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf):

# SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf }

but that didn't help. And in any case people NOT using cram-md5 can authenticate just fine, both before and after I made that change.

This worked "out of the box" under 1.1.2, but is broken now. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.
