In fact you should always recompile the rpms if you're not running RedHat 7.2 (I build the binaries on 7.2). Just do it like this:
rpmbuild --rebuild cyrus-imapd.2.1.15-1.src.rpm rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cyrus-* /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/perl-Cyrus* And BTW, if you're using the default configuration which uses PAM, try: passwd cyrus cyradm --user=cyrus --auth=login localhost cm user.<username> Regards, Simon > I guess you installed Simon Matter's rpm.
