Hi folks,


Further to my 1st posting listed at the bottom,  I found out the trick.
 I must use the password created on running;

# saslpasswd2 -c cyrus


NOT on running;
# passwd cyrus


What will be the use of the 2nd password?  Thanks.


Now on running;


$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password: 
localhost> cm user.satimiscyrus
localhost> quit

it works.  But I can't find this new user NOR its mailbox.


$ locate satimiscyrus
No printout


$ sudo ls -la /var/spool/cyrus/
