Ok, this makes sense, thanks Mark. I've worked through this when trying to install from source (unsuccessful as well till now).
But I still can't get through the howto list. Everything seemed ok until step 7. I started saslauthd, but I don't have any file at /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and have had no occasion to write one. Does "as needed" mean I should create one, and what should it say? Then I went ahead and tried to start imap with step 11, and I get the error: "cyrus-imapd: unrecognized service". I don't mean to skip around and I want to be thorough, but it's not working for me. I would appreciate any more clarification. Thanks!
