Cyradm problem "authentication failed"



Hi,

I'm having problems with cyrus installation. I am currently using
PAM(libpam-pwdfile) to  verify user accounts. IMAP connection using
pam file seems to be ok.

pineapple:/etc# su cyrus
pineapple:/etc$ /usr/sbin/imapd
* OK pineapple Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19 server ready
1 login pine test
1 OK User logged in

pineapple:/etc$ telnet localhost imap
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Using /usr/sbin/imapd seems to work, but telnet connection is somehow
wrong. Anyway, that's not my main problem.

When I use cyradm, I get authentication failed message. I've been
googling about this problem for two days, but could'nt find any to
solve this prob.

Anyone has similar problems like this?

posting my imapd.conf:
pineapple:/etc# cat imapd.conf
# Debian Cyrus imapd.conf
# See imapd.conf(5) for more information

# Configuration directory
configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus

# Which partition to use for default mailboxes
defaultpartition: default
partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail

# News setup
partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news
newsspool: /var/spool/news

# Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who

# Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes
#popminpoll: 1

# umask used by Cyrus programs
