cyrus authentication

[Robby Russell]

Hello,
I am new to cyrus and have been reading many webpages that contain 
walk-throughs, examples, etc and have run into a wall with trying to 
figure out how I am to get cyrus to properly authenticate a user.

Installation of Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.3 on RedHat 9.

/etc/imapd.conf (pretty much a copy of an example page)

> postmaster: postmaster
> configdirectory: /var/imap
> partition-default: /var/spool/imap
> admins: cyrus root
> allowanonymouslogin: no
> allowplaintext: yes
> sasl_mech_list: PLAIN login shadow pam
> servername: servername
> autocreatequota: 10000
> reject8bit: no
> quotawarn: 90
> timeout: 30
> poptimeout: 10
> dracinterval: 0
> drachost: localhost
> sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
> sievedir: /usr/sieve
> sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
> sieve_maxscriptsize: 32
> sieve_maxscripts: 5
> #unixhierarchysep: yes

I created the user 'cyrus'

# saslpasswd2 -c -u some-domain.com -a cyrus-imapd cyrus

# sasldblistusers2
cyrus at some-domain.com: userPassword

cyrus-auth.log

FYI, Port 993 is what cyrus is running on, just not using SSL at the moment.

# imtest -p 993 -a cyrus at some-domain.com localhost

> S: + go ahead
> C: <omitted>
>  
> S: L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure
> Authentication failed. generic failure

Where should I begin looking to try to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

-Robby
