Cannot log into cyrus using IMAP

[Eric B.]

Hi, I've just installed Postfix compiled with SASL2 and Cyrus-SASL / Cyrus-Imap onto a WBEL3 server.  I rebuilt both the cyrus-sasl and imap pkgs myself, so I am certain that they were built with the same version of db4.  When I try to test my cyrus-Imapd connection with "cyradm", I am failing.  I am getting an error "perl: No worthy mechs found.".  I'm somewhat new to all this, so am not sure what this means.  Any help will be greatly appreciated. Right now, I have the following packages installed: cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.18-1 cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-1 cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.18-1 cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.18-1 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.18-1 cyrus-imapd-utils-2.2.3-8 cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8 postfix-2.1.1.1-1 (compiled for MySQL, sasl2, VDA) I am following the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO.  My command line is the following: > saslpasswd2 -c cyrus > Password: secret > Again (for verification): secret When I try to connect with cyradm: > cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain > Password: secret > IMAP Password: secret I get the following errors in my /var/log/auth.log: May 10 00:47:21 linuxmail perl: No worthy mechs found May 10 00:52:01 linuxmail imap(pam_unix)[31961]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=cyrus May 10 00:52:01 linuxmail saslauthd[31961]: pam_sm_authenticate called.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Eric
