So I've been following this how-to of
Postfix-cyrus.postgresql-web-cyradm 
(http://www.web-cyradm.org/documentation/Postfix-cyrus-postgreSQL-web-cyradm.pdf.gz)

I've got to the point where I have to test cyradm (page 17) prior to
setting up web-cyradm but I'm not getting authenticated.  I've gone over
the documentation a few more times and everything seem right.  I enter
the following:

cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost

to which I get:

IMAP Password:

to which I enter the password.  To which I get:

Login failed: generic failure at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with  as cyrus

Message in /var/log is:

Aug 21 22:30:15 ca perl: No worthy mechs found
Aug 21 22:30:22 ca imapd[1550]: size read failed
Aug 21 22:30:22 ca imapd[1550]: badlogin: ca.npn[127.0.0.1] plaintext
cyrus SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed

Anyone understand my failure?  I thought it might have been permissions
on directories, because initially I was getting a different error than
the size read failed:

Aug 21 20:54:13 ca perl: No worthy mechs found
Aug 21 20:54:26 ca imapd[899]: cannot connect to saslauthd server:
Permission denied
Aug 21 20:54:26 ca imapd[899]: badlogin: ca.npn[127.0.0.1] plaintext
cyrus SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed

so I matched the permissions and ownership of our production cyrus-imapd
and cyrus-sasl system.  Now I get this different error.
