Hi Luca,

1. saslauthd has *nothing* to do with your setup.

2. use "sasldblistusers2" rather than "strings sasldb2"

3. where are you when you execute "./cyradm ..."? It looks like you are
in your build directory. Try the one in /usr/local/bin (if you installed
it in the default location) "cyradm --user cyrus --auth plain
localhost". I have to use "cyradm --user cyrus --auth DIGEST-MD5
localhost" since I have not explicitely set the sasl_mech_list.

Mike.
