simple problem in Cyrus-IMAP configuration


Hello,

I have sendmail configured. I have installed cyrus-imapd and the clients can detect the imap server.
Now as I am new to this I got this when I first connected to the IMAP server:
Unable to authenticate.

I probably think that IMAP needs it's user to be added in some kinda of database. How do I add user to the database ? And how do I get a successfull telnet session at port 143 of the server ?

I have RHEL-4 ES.

Thanks
Regards

Cyrus needs to be told what database to use..
sasl_passwd_check: shadow or pam or passwd or sasldb

Depending on which you choose, there are tools to add names/passwords to these, eg passwd, saslpasswd etc
