Bug Description
Binary package hint: sasl2-bin
Ubuntu: 8.04.1
Version: 2.1.22.
The Cyrus IMAP server runs as the user cyrus. But the /etc/sasl2db does not provide sufficient permissions for direct access by the IMAP server. saslauthd has no problems as it runs as root.
This file needs to be in the sasl group so that uses of the DB can access it. This will also break Postfix's use of cyrus-sasl2 for SMTP Auth.

Adding cyrus to the sasl group should also solve it. I don't think this is an actual bug in cyrus-sasl2.
