2.0.7 is out. It's somewhere between alpha and beta state right now. It uses
DB3 for storage.

In 2.0.x you need to use a pwcheck daemon or PAM_mysql. A pwcheck daemon I
wrote is in the RPM found at:
http://www.hazard.maks.net/cyrus/
or just grab the daemon itself at:
http://www.hazard.maks.net/cyrus/sql-auth/authcheck.pl
This also works with 1.6x. More people seem to use the PAM approach though,
but I'm no expert on that method (check the archives for details).
