Simplest way to get imap authentication with sasldb working?

["Raimund Eimann" <raimund@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've tried to get Cyrus IMAP running using SASLDB2 for authentication on
an openSuSE Box and failed miserably. Is there somewhere a simple
step-by-step description on how to get this running?

One question I have, for instance is:  Do I need saslauthd? I have it
installed, but I believe that I've read somewhere that it's not required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Raimund
