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.

The HOWTO is considerably out-of-date; Cyrus now uses it's own 'master' process to control the various sub-systems and not [x]inetd.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.
