Thanks for making these available!!! I now have Cyrus 2.1.15 installed and working on Debian Woody, authenticating to our LDAP server via saslauthd-ldap (no pam). In case you're interested what stumbling blocks I happened upon:
In imapd.conf, by the unixhierarchysep option, the following comment led me astray somewhat:
# WARNING: This option does NOT apply to admin tools such as cyradm # (admins ONLY), reconstruct, quota, etc., NOR does it affect LMTP # delivery of messages directly to mailboxes via plus-addressing.
So, after setting "unixhierarchysep: yes", I went into cyradm and "cm user.julesa", figuring that cyradm was not affected by this option. This led to some odd behavior: sivtest -a julesa localhost returned "Authentication failed. generic failure", which led me to fiddle with my authentication setup over and over... After a while I noticed that the user directories had not been created in the spool area, and eventually figured out that going back into cyradm, deleting user.julesa, and creating user/julesa was what I needed to do to get things working properly. So it looks like that comment in imapd.conf is inaccurate. I don't know about reconstruct, quota, etc. yet, but cyradm is definitely affected by the unixhierarchysep option.
Less importantly, the cyrus21-imapd package doesn't seem to list libsasl-modules as a dependency or recommended, and for a while I didn't realize that I didn't have this package installed. I did eventually figure it out thanks to your excellent documentation, but wouldn't it make sense to list it as a recommended package if not a dependancy? I'm not a debian developer, so I don't know what the policy is there, but it would have saved me a little time.
All in all, these were pretty minor problems, and I really appreciate all the effort you and all the other contributors to the Cyrus project have made to build this great software. Thanks again!
