My fault for not painting the full picture. It can go in either/or. Value
in imapd.conf will override the value if Cyrus.conf.

I don't believe Cyrus uses a .conf file in usr/lib/sasl.
It was my understanding that what would ordinarily
go into Cyrus.conf file in /usr/lib/sasl actually
goes into /etc/imapd.conf using the "sasl_<option>"
parameters.
