I'm attempting to install cyrus on Suse10.
I'm getting an error from saslpasswd2

penguin:/ # saslpasswd2 -c cyrus
Password:
Again (for verification):
saslpasswd2: no mechanism available


I'm hoping that someone here might have some sasl experience.
Is this an appropriate place to ask for help?


This is what I see in my syslog:
Jul 25 01:36:12 penguin saslpasswd2: could not find auxprop plugin, 
was searching for [all]

properties

This is my imapd.conf:
