hi ken,

thanks for your reply.

in the meanwhile i try gentoo, as other distributions don't give me the 
freedom i used to experience (compared to xBSD ;).

however, it still does not work.

i made sure that i have the appropriate plugin(s) installed (hm, 
'emerge' only has one for DIGEST, CRAM is missing) and the permissions 
of sasldb2 are okay.

still i get:

Mar 31 20:20:02 www imap[22824]: accepted connection
Mar 31 20:20:02 www imap[22824]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 1
Mar 31 20:20:02 www perl: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2

when trying to login via 'cyradm -u cyrus localhost'...
