I've had similar problems as those described earlier, but I've only just subscribed. I followed the Cyrus-HOWTO for Linux, which instructs you to set up inetd. I'm using xinetd, so I thought the problem was how I set up the entries for imap and pop3. In those entries, the server is /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd (which should only be called by the master imapd, I believe?). If I disable them and start up the server, I don't have the CYRUS_SERVICE problems anymore, just new ones 8). Hope that helps someone.
