bingo (-ish).  afaik, ipv6 is *supposed* to be reliable on OSX, but who knows ..

completely randomly, i added 'localhost' to the /etc/hosts.allow

       ---     ALL: ::1 127.0.0.1 172.30.11.0/255.255.255.248
       +++     ALL: ::1 127.0.0.1 172.30.11.0/255.255.255.248 localhost

and, for some %&^$& reason, it now works; well at least the "Broken Pipe" error has disappeared.

why '::1' or '127.0.0.1' doesn't do it, and 'localhost' does, i dunno ...

now, i've to contend with:

       % cyradm -u postmaster localhost
             cyradm: cannot authenticate to server

i *think* this is a sasl2 plugin issue ... off to the races!

thanks!
