Hi,

No, I am not trying to auth to cyradm.  I am not doing any encryption.
 plain text passwords authenticating through pam to a mysql database. 
regular users are working fine.  it is just the cyrus account that
can't login.  when I do the imtest with the password for the cyrus
account it says authenticated, but when I run cyradm I get the above
error.

thanks,
 jt
