I installed cyrus-imap-2.1.4 and have found a quirk that I don't know if
it's a bug, change in feature or what.  When I try to connect to the cyrus
server via the command (same I successfully used in 2.0.15):

# cyradm -u cyrus -s my.host.com

it hangs up and won't connect... but if I run it with:

# cyradm --user cyrus -s my.host.com
Password: <enter-pass>
my.host.com>

success.

This install is on a totally fresh system on which I just re-installed Linux
(heh, because I accidently typed "rm -fr" in the wrong terminal window a
couple of days ago! luckily it's just the box i use for testing and
evaluation so no biggie).  Here's my details:

Linux-Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8)
BerkeleyDB3.3
cyrus-imapd-2.1.4 (installed from Luca Olivetti's src.rpm)
cyrus-sasl-2.1.2 (installed from Luca Olivetti's src.rpm)
gcc-2.96
perl-5.601

So, is this a bug in my system or a "feature" of 2.1.4? Any ideas? Or have
they actually implemented the man page's warning that Tcl short style
options may be done away with?

If they have done away with them, how does that affect the perl programming
side?

thanks,

Jeff
