cyrus pop with shadow passwords

[Champaka Guruge]

Dear all,


I have installed cyrus imap on suse ES9 mail server , and  want to use 
POP3 for mails and authenticate users  from /etc/shadow. So I add all 
users to /etc/password and their passwords to /etc/shadow

For authenticate from shadow file , I changed

sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

to

sasl_pwcheck_method: shadow

and no other changes...

But when i try to  login to system using POP

I got following error from log/messages
