Now, my problem is with authentication, details :

As before, I can add to sasldb without problem using saslpasswd, and list
the users from it with sasldblistusers, see :

user: admin realm: myhost.mydomain.com mech: PLAIN-APOP
user: admin realm: myhost.mydomain.com mech: DIGEST-MD5
user: admin realm: myhost.mydomain.com mech: PLAIN
user: admin realm: myhost.mydomain.com mech: CRAM-MD5

permissions on sasldb are :

-rw-r----- 1 cyrus mail 49152 Dec 24 02:14 /usr/local/etc/sasldb

For Cyrus 2, you need to use SASL2. Ie, saslpasswd2 and sasldblistusers2.

Clearly I need some PAM entries, but as for the MD5 methods? Something
wrong with SASL?

For PAM, I assume you are running saslauthd with -a pam, right? As for the specific /etc/pam.d/* or /etc/pam.conf (wherever it is stored on BSD) entries, both Linux and Solaris have default definitions which are used when the given service name isn't listed, and those work for me. I don't know how PAM is setup on BSD, and the names of modules are likely to be very different (Linux and Solaris are both quite different). You should be able to duplicate the login auth section for imap and pop3 and tweak from there.
