I have noticed that my timsieved does not announce upon startup what
kind of login mechanisms are available. I have seen that it does so
in some documentation, but this might have changed since then.
Another question: since timsieved is only used for installing sievescripts,
could I just copy them to their correct location using some other mechanism
instead? (okok, this is not how it is meant to be done ...)
Cyrus 2.1 is only an option for the future I think - I just set up this
system with 2.0.16 (before the 2.1 beta came out) and am halfway lucky
it is working well. My will to upgrade right now is a bit low.
Kind regards,
