cannot authenticate to server cyrus

[RYAN vAN GINNEKEN]

Thank u that seemed to work i changed the cyrus.conf file like u 
suggested however now i am back to my original problem

also /usr/local/etc/sasldb2.db is the default path for FreeBSD ports install. 


My original problem is permission denied when tring to create mailboxes

su cyrus
%cyradm localhost
IMAP Password:
              localhost.computerking.ca>
localhost.computerking.ca> cm user.testjim
createmailbox: Permission denied
localhost.computerking.ca> whoami
cyrus

i get this in /var/log/messages

Sep  6 03:51:04 tokyo perl: No worthy mechs found
Sep  6 03:51:15 tokyo imap[95045]: no user in db
Sep  6 03:51:15 tokyo imap[95045]: login: localhost.computerking.ca
