I'm trying to move my mail services to both new hardware and a new Cyrus

I was going for what looked like the simplest method: set the new server

Thought I'd mention an odd problem with idled which I've worked around
so that it gets into the list archive.
Running 2.3.16, the master starts idled without error. However, all of

give the following error:

Just so you know, the policies of most Linux distributions forbid this
kind of bundling, so unless it's easily disabled (and preferably
defaults to using system libraries) the distributions will just have to
patch it back out again. For example, here's the Fedora policy:

Good news.
Since folks may not know much about this, here's some detail.
I've been using this little Perl script to talk to the fud server for so
long that I've no recollection of where it came from. It's only 53
lines, so
Recently our campus was hit with a particularly bad targeted trojan
attach and the IT overlords sent out a demand that we (a small
department with several hundred mailboxes on our own server) go through
all user mailboxes and actually delete the offending messages. At least

I have a pretty simple cyrus setup; I have a long-running 2.3.16 install

cyrus-sasl 2.1.22 and everything authenticating to a kerberos server.
What I would like to do is ban some valid users from accessing IMAP.

Oh, that's what that does. I see one mention of something
I know this isn't entirely a Cyrus question, but I figure some folks
here would have some idea of my issue.
Basically, we use Kerberos authentication with Cyrus. The passwords in
Kerberos expire. With shell and (Linux) desktop logins and such, the

The Fedora package is not configured to use clmav. This is because
clamav in Fedora still uses the old openssl libraries while cyrus uses
the new libraries.

Cyrus does have an integrated backup system (see
