Does it work with non-root users? I don't know if /etc/securetty applies
to cyris, and it's really not a good idea to have mail delivered to root
or login to imap as root anyway. It should be forwarded to another
account.

    I am setting up Cyrus, cyrus-imapd-2.0.16_1, on a FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE box
    with cyrus-sasl-1.5.24_8 RFC 2222 SASL. Both were installed via the FreeBSD
    ports tree (recently cvsup'd). For some reason I am unable to login using my
    test accounts. Cyrus is reporting bad passwords. I am unsure what to do at
    this point, and have found no documentation to help in troubleshooting this.
    Any help is appreciated!
    
    First, I did create the accounts and set the passwords:
    
    mail# cyradm -u mailadmin mail
    Please enter your password:
    Dec 19 13:48:59 mail imapd[11595]: login: mail.example.com[10.0.0.5]
    mailadmin DIGEST-MD5 User logged in
    mail.example.com> lm
    user.root
    mail.example.com> exit
    
    mail# sasldblistusers|grep root
    user: root realm: mail.example.com mech: DIGEST-MD5
    user: root realm: mail.example.com mech: PLAIN
    user: root realm: mail.example.com mech: CRAM-MD5
    
    I can log in using the root user account via cyradm:
    
    mail# cyradm -u root mail
    Please enter your password:
    Dec 19 13:50:52 mail imapd[11608]: login: mail.example.com[10.0.0.5] root
    DIGEST-MD5 User logged in
    mail.example.com> lm
    INBOX
    mail.example.com> exit
    
    But not by logging in remotely or using imtest:
    
    mail# telnet localhost 143
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost
    Escape character is '^]'.
    * OK mail.example.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready
    0001 LOGIN "root" "password"
    Incorrect password
    0001 NO Login failed: Incorrect password
    ^]
    telnet> quit
    Connection closed.
    
    On the console I get:
    
    Dec 19 11:41:08 mail imapd[1701]: badlogin:
    localhost.example.com[127.0.0.1] plaintext root
    
    The same happens with imtest:
    
    mail# imtest -p imap -a root -m login mail
    C: C01 CAPABILITY
    S: * OK mail.example.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready
    S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID
    NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
    THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5
    S: C01 OK Completed
    Password:
    C: L01 LOGIN root {7}
    + go ahead
    C: <omitted>
    Dec 19 11:15:54 mail imapd[1640]: badlogin: mail.example.com[10.0.0.5]
    plaintext root Incorrect password
    ^C
    
    Is something not running right? I have both master and pwcheck running:
    
    root      221  0.0  0.2   996  580  ??  Is    1:50AM   0:00.08
    /usr/local/sbin/pwcheck
    cyrus    1165  0.0  0.5  2340 1192  p0- I     3:56AM   0:00.14
    /usr/local/cyrus/bin/master
