Good and Bad News :( That fixed that particular authentication error, but aunveiled another one :(
Now when I issue the command imtest -m login -p imap localhost as user cyrus it 'works'. However, when I try to create a new user by following the directions at http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP-8.html#ss8.2 I cannot seem to add users to my server: I attempted to create the user 'joebob'. But even after I user 'saslpasswd joebob' and set the password accordingly, I still get the following error when attempting to login --- [root@mail root]# imtest -m login -a joebob localhost S: * OK mail.url Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.11-Invoca-RPM-2.1.11-3 server ready C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED ANNOTATEMORE X-NETSCAPE S: C01 OK Completed Please enter your password: C: L01 LOGIN joebob {8} S: + go ahead C: <omitted> S: L01 NO Login failed: authentication failure Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 0 . logout * BYE LOGOUT received .

Change this to 'saslauthd' and start 'saslauthd -a > shadow'
