My imapd.conf is: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap sievedir: /var/lib/sieve admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no autocreatequota: 10000 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes I think I understand what you mean, but I've always used saspasswd2 -c username, where username is an existing linux user, to create account for Cyrus and it has always worked.
