Creating users and setting their passwords is always seperate from the cyrus server. I don't know any good scripts to create users in sasldb or in a MySQL database, but I've written a nice (hopefully ;-) web interface for storing user information in a LDAP directory and creating a cyrus mailbox. It can be extended to use a relational database as backend, but I didn't analyzed, how much work this would be. If you are interested, look at http://www.linuxnetworks.de/enterprise/general/ Norbert
