Setup problem - cannot create folders/admin/mailbox?

[Eric Clemens]

Thanks Joe, however I still receive

cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with  as cyrus

when I try to authenticate. Also, in my logs I am getting.

www perl: krb_mk_req() failed: No ticket file (tf_util) (76)
www perl: No worthy mechs found

Thanks.
