ok, i set my /etc/imapd.conf to look like this:

configdirectory: /var/imap
defaultpartition: default
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
allowplaintext: yes
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
admins: cyrus
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN, CRAM-MD5

now i get the following errors when trying to connect:

# cyradm --user cyrus localhost
Password:
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with  as cyrus

# tail /var/log/auth.log

Sep 27 08:43:27 rs2 imapd[74583]: no secret in database
Sep 27 08:43:30 rs2 perl: No worthy mechs found

also, eventually when i want to block plaintext passwords completely, is it 
possible to use cyradm at all?
