cyradm authentication error

When I try to enter cyradm:
cyradm -u cyrus localhost
I receive:
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with  as root

Why root? I tried with cyrus!
The imtest works.
I'm using sasldb2 authentication. Mechanisms enabled are DIGEST-MD5 and
CRAM-MD5. I didn't configure sendmail. Cyrus version is 2.1.7.
After installing, I copied perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
subdirectory from usr/local/lib to usr/lib, to avoid compilation errors
when launching cyradm.
Three explanations are in my mind:
cyradm needs plaintext mechanism authentication.
cyradm needs sendmail.
After installing, I had to copy something else.

Does somebody know what can I do?
Thanks
