update from fc3 -> fc4: cyrus/sasl-errors

[Roger Grosswiler]

hi,

i recently updated from fc3 to fc4. i use this machine as a mailserver
with cyrus. 1st problem was the database - fixed issue. now, on
authentication, i get errors, will say, with selinux enforcing i cannot
authenticate at all.

from the fc-list i got some help, with a few commands, that should help
better understanding. What can i do, to have this box with selinux
enforcing enabled? ah, yes, in permissive mode it works fine.

here a sniplet of my logs:
