Config problem

[Christopher Robin]

Thank you for the information, especially the link to the RH RPMs.  I do
enjoy saving tons of trouble, but if I did it the easy way all the time,
then I wouldn't learn anything.  I did get my server up and running, so
now I can dig deeper into it.

Thanks for the help,

Chris

The HOWTO is considerably out-of-date; Cyrus now uses it's own 'master'
process to control the various sub-systems and not [x]inetd.  If you're
using Red Hat, I'd strongly encourage you to use Simon Matter's RPMs at
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/; it will save you tons of
trouble.
