cyradm cannot connect to cyrus imap server

[Riccardo Veraldi]

if cyrus is your user admin just do

cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost

and it will work

depending on your password backend you may need to add user cyrus with 
sasldb2 or
if you use local unix account with saslauthd you just need to set a 
password for user cyrus with passwd
