I should have elaborated: I could log in to webadmin and create a user.
Since guam doesn't start on my system I couldn't test more. I've now
changed kolab.conf to access cyrus directly - still open is a test what
might be missing for IMAP/SASL and selinux.

We should try to get kolab running with selinux enabled. Whenever I see
an install documentation that starts with "disable selinux" I cry.

Agreed.

I'll have a look.
