yes your supposed to use your linux password. now if your using
an alternate authentication source such as NIS, LDAP, or other,
you'll need to configure PAM to use that authentication source
which is controlled in /etc/pam.d/cyrus . If your using just
normal linux passwords from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow then
it should just work.. I am not certain why it would not.. one
thing to try is:
telnet localhost 143
(after you see the IMAP banner)
A001 LOGIN username password
A001 LOGOUT
where username/password is your actual username and password.
perhaps imapd isn't running or something.
