cyradm - unable to authenticate server as cyrus

Wed Jul 9 10:02:06 EDT 2008

Hi folks,

Ubuntu LAMP 6.06 amd64
Postfix
Cyrus-imap-2.2

Just discovered unable to login cyradm as cyrus

$ cyradm -user cyrus localhost
Password: 
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server as cyrus

The password is correct.  Also ran;

$ sudo passwd cyrus
to create a new password but without result.

It just hung there.  I can't quit the command.

Previously it worked without problem.  What I have done on the server
were setup iptables and installing SugarCRM on this box.

Stop iptables and flush the rules but without result.
