imapd, sasl, imtest connection refused

[Kimberly Triplett]

I have gotten past a lot of the issues I was facing.  I am now running the
imtest and getting the following error message:

/usr/local/bin/imtest -m login newpopmail

S: * OK newpopmail Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.9-Invoca-RPM-2.1.9-1 server ready
C: C01 CAPABILITY

S: + go ahead

S: L01 NO Login failed: generic failure
Authentication failed. generic failure

The syslog shows the following error:
Sep 13 14:33:38 newpopmail imapd[11490]: cannot connect to saslauthd server:
No such file or directory
Sep 13 14:33:38 newpopmail imapd[11490]: badlogin: newpopmail[10.47.10.35]
plaintext cyrus SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed

Anyone have any suggestions or something to check?
