cyradm not authenticating

[Sebastian Konstanty Zdrojewski]

I had a similar problem at the beginning... try to check your imapd.conf 
file, maybe there is a problem while specifying the uthentication 
method. Here is a sample I am using for test:

sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain

It works for me. Check also if the libsasl2 is available in the search 
path (ldconf and so on...)

Hope to be helpful! :)

Best Regards
