I'm not exactly sure if this is the reason, but PAM does not allow any
user except root to check another user's password. Hence you would only
be able to check against uid:Cyrus through PAM. Perhaps using the
pwcheck daemon can solve this problem.
This is exactly the problem. A future version of Cyrus SASL will
probably discontinue the PAM password method is favor of forcing
people to use pwcheck.
