Cyrus Authentication problems

Simon,

OK, makes sense, no more saslpasswd... Here's what I have done to create a
testuser. However, I still can't authenticate this user in SquirrelMail or
imtest. What am I doing wrong?

[root at mail root]# useradd -s /bin/false -p fcstestuser testuser
[root at mail root]# cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost
IMAP Password:
 
localhost.localdomain> cm user.testuser
localhost.localdomain> lam user.testuser
testuser lrswipcda
localhost.localdomain> exit

[root at mail root]# imtest -u testuser -m login localhost
