unable to login with cyradm

[Ana Ribas Roca]

You can use the port 143 only in localhost for access to cyradm.
You have to change the cyrus.conf file like that:

   imap          cmd="imapd" listen="localhost:imap" prefork=1
   #imap         cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=5
   imaps         cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=5
