Trying to get Cyrus working on Fedora 30 by following instructions at
<https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/download/installation/distributions/fedora.html>
but having some trouble.

# dnf install cyrus-imapd cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-plain
# passwd cyrus
# systemctl start saslauthd
# systemctl enable saslauthd
Everything worked correctly.

# testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p YOUR-PASSWORD
0: OK "Success."

# systemctl start cyrus-imapd
# systemctl enable cyrus-imapd
Everything worked correctly.

# imtest -t "" -u cyrus -a cyrus localhost

What am I missing? The "generic failure" message does not give me any
clue how to proceed. Searching for that message online also did not
return any useful results.
