If I had been thinking, I probably would have just gone back and recompiled using --with-mboxlist-db=berkeley and --with-seen-db=flat, but I don't know if that is a problem or not.

Sorry, I don't mean to spam, but since I haven't received any responses 
I have a few more questions that may help me pinpoint the problem.  It 
seems that I can't authenticate because cyrus is having trouble reading 
sasldb2 or won't recognize the users for some other reason.  Is it 
possible (likely?) that one of the upgrade steps for sasl 
(utils/dbconverter-2) or imapd made it so sasldb2 can't be read properly 
or corrupted it?  Cyrus owns the file sasldb2, so that shouldn't be the 
problem.

Also, what does "cmusaslsecret" mean when it is returned after using 
sasldblistusers2?  Formerly, with sasldblistusers and my older versions 
of cyrus, it would return with "user: user1 realm: hostname mech: 
PLAIN."  What is the significance of cmusaslsecretPLAIN when using 
sasldblistusers2?

Just to provide further information -- from my log files:  SASL(-13): 
user not found: checkpass failed

What, exactly, is checkpass?

Thanks again,
Nate
