How to Instructions

[Lee Hoffman]

Here are my install commands for cyrus/sasl on RH7.3. Some things have
been updated, you'll have to change version numbers where appropriate.
Also this install cyrus data in a shared partition /export (changing
this is easy).

I am still having problems getting my redhat linux 7.2 - cyrus -ldap
config
working.  IS there anyone out there that can give me a step by step
how-to
on getting this stuff installed and configured.

Thanks
Kim
