Upgrade from FC-1 to FC-2: Cyrus POP3/IMAP won't authenticate

I finally upgraded my mail server that had been running FC1. I use sendmail
and other remote users used POP3 to fetch their mail. IMAP was also used by
SquirrelMail for some web users. All worked well.
After the upgrade, the old POP and IMAP progs were gone and Cyrus was
installed. Now when a user attempts to pull mail using IMAP or POP, they get
authenticate errors.
I ran IMTEST and this was the result.
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imtest -m login -a user localhost

I get similar results with pop3test.
Here is imapd.conf

partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus root
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

tls_ca_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Straight out of the RPM. The old IMAP and POP3 progs worked right out of the
box. I've been running through the archives, google, the "HOW-TO" and
nothing I've found fixes this problem. I've check DB4 and that appears OK
too.
Pointer or tips anyone?
