password issue.

try doing it as non root ...on my mail servers i have a common
account called 'admin' for the admins, and i have that as the
"admin" for cyrus and i do
cyradm localhost
and it prompts for localhost username and password ...
maybe its something specific to the root account(i wouldn't
be suprised)
