I guess I cannot change SASL_AUTHMECH. saslauthd supports the following 
authentication mechanisms.

# saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.19
authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap

Is it safe to presume pam will handle auxprop? After re-reading your 
last post and chart, I made the following changes to /etc/imapd.conf, 
and now I can "cyradm localhost". Thanks! I'll now go tackle why isn't 
sasldb created.

	#sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
	sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
	#sasl_mech_list: cram-md5
	sasl_mech_list: plain

Below is the rest of my /etc/imapd.conf. Would you please help to see if 
there are other potential problems?

	configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
	partition-default: /var/spool/imap
	admins: cyrus
	allowanonymouslogin: no
	deleteright: cyrus
	quotawarn: 90
	sieveusehomedir: no
	sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
	sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
	hashimapspool: true
	lmtp_admins: cyruslmtp
	lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes
	tls_ca_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus-imapd/cacert.pem
	tls_cert_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus-imapd/cert.pem
	tls_key_file: /etc/ssl/cyrus-imapd/key.pem
