There is a lot of mystical in Cyrus, especially because it lacks
sufficient documentation. I know that programmers don't like to
document what they worked on, but for new users it is very hard and
cumbersome to get the information and examples that are required to
understand Cyrus at least partially from widespread mailinglist
posts, some outdated howtos in the web and some cyrus manpages.
I totally agree with what you are saying about documentation.
However, if you turn up all of your log options then all mysticism
vanishes. The logs will tell you what they are doing.
FYI: if you are using PAM I can't help you. Most of the gods can't
help you either ;-)
