Does cyradm display the password prompt?  I did a fresh RedHat 8.0 +
updates (Perl 5.8.0) install on a laptop so I could do some development
while on the road, and the prompt for the password doesn't display.  It
took me a while before I realized that cyradm wasn't hung, its just
silently waiting for input.

I get the same behavior with both Cyrus 2.1.12 and 2.2.0, so I know its
not related to a change in Cyrus.  What I don't know is if this is a
problem with Perl 5.8.0, Redhat's packaging of it, or a problem in some
library that Perl uses.
