I think it should even work with SELinux enabled but I've never tried.

The Invoca rpm requires that the cyrus user has /bin/bash as shell. That's
how it creates the user and I've just checked the RHEL5.4 rpm and saw that
it's the same with RedHat's package (which is based on an old version of
our Invoca package). Was the cyrus user touched somehow? It may well be
that the RedHat package doesn't need the user having the bash as shell but
the Invoca package needs it.
What does 'getent passwd cyrus' tell and what does 'rpm -Vf /var/lib/imap'
show?
