I am looking at a few other examples and am trying this configuration now:

/etc/imapd.conf

> configdirectory: /var/imap
> partition-default: /var/spool/imap
> admins: cyrus root
> srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab
> allowanonymouslogin: no
> sasl_passwd_check: shadow

I added a user like so: (assuming I got the -a part right?)
# saslpasswd -c -u some-domain.com -a cyrus-imapd cyrus

/var/log/cyrus-imapd.log
> badlogin: ip.xx.xx.xx plaintext cyrus SASL(-13): user not found: checkpass failed

however:

# sasldblistusers
user: cyrus realm: some-domain.com mech: CRAM-MD5
user: cyrus realm: some-domain.com mech: PLAIN
user: cyrus realm: some-domain.com mech: DIGEST-MD5


# sasldblistusers2
cyrus at some-domain.com: userPassword

So, the same user/pass is in both, but I am not sure which one I should 
be using and which one is saying that the user doesn't exist.

Any thoughts?
