Okok, I reread Noel's email and found the step by step explanation of how to 
set things up. Following it, I ran into the following issue at step 4.2 
(create mailboxes):
If I issue "cyradm --user manager localhost" and hand cyrus the password I 
defined in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and /etc/saslauthd.conf (I used identical 
ones), I get the following error:
# cyradm --user manager localhost
IMAP Password: 
              Login failed: authentication failure 
at /usr/lib/perl5/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server as manager

The corresponding entry in /var/log/syslog reads:

I followed the HOWTO closely - the only difference is that I did NOT import 
any LDAP data (step 2.2, "slapadd < yourkolabldapdata"). Is that critical? If 
yes: how to rig an ldap file?

I apologize for swamping you with my newbie silliness, but I really would like 
to get this running ... 

Thanks for any hints, Joh
