RE: Cyrus refuses admin password
That's hasn't fixed it, but thanks for the advice. I suspect it's a shadow password issue.

Cyrus refuses admin password
I just installed cyurs imapd and admin packages. After I edited /etc/imapd.conf to add the line: admins: cyrus root I tried to create accounts using cyradm -user root localhost but was refused with: "application-specific initialization failed: authentication failed" I have shadow passwords installed. Can anyone help me work out how too make this work?
