cyrus 2.2.10 & RH FC3

[sol beach]

        --enable-plain=yes      \
        --with-openssl=/usr
which I then seeming successfully invoked.

make depend
make all CFLAGS=-O
make install

 cp master/conf/normal.conf /etc/cyrus.conf

into sendmail.mc added 2 lines below:

MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl

What did I do wrong or not do right?

Why does  LOGIN or PLAIN  not get reported as one of the available capabilities?

What do I need to change to get IMAP operational?
