Cyrus Hell

[Eric Naeseth]

I've been trying to get Cyrus IMAPD 2.1.14 working on my system for a
couple days now with no success. 

I've used the configure line:
./configure --with-auth=unix --with-dbdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

I had also tried this line earlier, and wound up in the same situation
as I have now: I can connect to my server on IMAP or POP3, but the
server sends nothing back.  I tried configuring with Kereberos, but
configure failed to locate it, even when I told it to look in
/usr/include (where it is).

All the cyrus executables are executable.

/etc/cyrus.conf:

  # do not delete this entry!

  # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
