cyrus-imap + cyrus-sasl : "user not found"

[Corey]

Hello - I subscribed here because I'm having a heck of a time with something
I would imagine should be pretty easy: namely, I want to cyrus-imap with the
saslpasswd. But I after a few hours and much reading and trial-and-error, I've
had no success.

I'm on gentoo linux, using cyrus-sasl-2.1.22 and cyrus-imapd-2.2.12:

mybox ~ # saslpasswd2 -a smtpauth cyrus

mybox ~ # sasldblistusers2
cyrus at mybox: userPassword

mybox ~ # cyradm --user cyrus localhost
IMAP Password:
localhost>

log output shows:
May 15 13:04:22 mybox imap[8862]: accepted connection
May 15 13:04:22 mybox perl: No worthy mechs found
May 15 13:04:23 mybox imap[8862]: login: localhost [127.0.0.1] cyrus plaintext 
User logged in


First question: why the "No worthy mechs found"?

Second question: why am I getting "user not found"?
