unable to login with cyradm

[Joe Harvell]

I used cyradm a long time ago to set up two mailboxes, and now I need to
use it again, but I can't login:

I am running cyrus-imapd 2.2.12.  I know that the latest 2.3 version
supports TLS with cyradm.  But I am not ready to upgrade.  I just want
to be able to run cyradm from the localhost.  Here is what happens when
I enter the cyradm command:

jharvell at dingo ~ $ cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --port 993
IMAP Password:
              jharvell at dingo ~ $


Here is my syslog:
