I used yum to insatll cyrus-sasl and cyrus-imapd
The installation went thru fine and I am able to create users using
saslpasswd2
when I start cyrus-imapd server it comes up fine
/etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd start


I have the following configuration files.
/etc/imapd.conf
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail.conf
/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf

I have the following configurations in /etc/imapd.conf

You mentioned above that you have created your users with saslpasswd2, but
you have 'sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd' configured. If you wish to
authenticate against the sasldb2 database, then you'll want:

sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb

And in your /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:

pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb

when I try to test I get the following errors
test1>>>
imtest -m login -p imap localhost
Authentication failed:gebneric error

test2>>>>

cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain

Password:
IMAP Password:
Login failed: authentication failure at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm

cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with plain as cyrus

Check your syslog output (auth facility) for any relevant errors.
