=\ Configure options? As in the options that proudly display themselves
upon typing `configure --help' in the source directory for either cyrus-sasl
or cyrus-imapd? Or would you be talking about separate config files
(imapd.conf/cyrus.conf) whose options are (again, very proudly) displayed by
typing `man imapd.conf' or `man cyrus.conf'?

PAM won't make a difference unless sasl_pwcheck_method is set to PAM.
Actually, if the sasl_pwcheck_option isn't specified, it will default to
sasldb. =)

Definitely sounds like authentication problems to me! Can you successfully
add users to the sasl database with the saslpasswd command (`saslpasswd -c
<username>')? Is /etc/sasldb readable/writeable by the cyrus user? Can you
list the entries in the sasl database with the sasldblistusers command?

Oh no! =(

Yeah, imtest won't work if authentication doesn't - they're tight like
peanut butter and jelly. To "simply" use sasldb you would be best to first
check the rights pertaining to /etc/sasldb, and then see if the database
works with the sasldblistusers and saslpasswd commands.
As for configure options, my first paragraph should help you on your way.
Different systems require different configure options, so this mailing list
can't really help you decide which options would be best for your system.
If you're still having trouble, check the /doc directory that comes with the
sources. If you need to mail the list again, try to include as much detail
as possible!
Good luck!
