hmmm ... 'plain'.  are you, by any chance, attempting to auth to cyradm over TLS?

cyradm, apparently, does not support auth over TLS.  i'd struggled with this same issue for a

http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=36999

that works.

i'm guessing, but hth!

cheers,

richard
