Cyrus Authentication Problem

[Jon "GenKIller" Gaudette]

Good and Bad News :(

That fixed that particular authentication error, but aunveiled another
one :(

Now when I issue the command imtest -m login -p imap localhost as user
cyrus it 'works'.  However, when I try to create a new user by following
the directions at http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP-8.html#ss8.2 I
cannot seem to add users to my server:

I attempted to create the user 'joebob'.  But even after I user
'saslpasswd joebob' and set the password accordingly, I still get the
following error when attempting to login

---

Thank you very much for the help thus far, and help you can provide
again will be truly appreciated!!!
