I'm afraid i didn't get cyradm working until now. cyradm --user cyrus 
localhost prompts me for a password, and when i enter that, cyradm will 
quit with a "Speicherzugriffsfehler" (memory access error).
cyradm (without options) gives me a cyradm> console, but when i say 
connect localhost it will prompt me for a password and again report this 
speicherzugriffsfehler and quit the program.

Google finds http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2002-Oct/4657.html 
for "Speicherzugriffsfehler cyradm" which tells me to use cyradm --user 
cyrus --auth login localhost. Although this didn't work before, it now 
obviously does with sasl running, so i can run cyradm now.

The first thing i did was to create a mailbox for a user (createmailbox 
user.jochen), set user rights (setaclmailbox user.jochen anyone lr) and 
then try to connect to it (both with cyradm and imtest). Because cyradm 
did not seem to provide user management functions ("managing imap", 
pg.157),  i rely on the saslpasswd i provided. Anyway, i'll now (still) 
get authentication errors when i use imtest to log in as the user i 
created the mailbox for (and who has an entry in sasldb).
