not entirely... i have absolutely no idea how to setup cyrus-imap b/c i've never
dealt with it before... if you could point me to some docs that would work with
the setup in fc that would be helpful.  heres the log info i get when
attempting to log in from squierrelmail:

Mar 18 20:46:18 d-mak master[17787]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd
Mar 18 20:46:18 d-mak imap[31329]: accepted connection
Mar 18 20:46:19 d-mak imap[17787]: executed
Mar 18 20:46:19 d-mak imap[31329]: badlogin: d-mak.homelinux.org [127.0.0.1]
plaintext douglas SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed

So basically i need to know how to add a new user.  all the docs i find don't
seem to relate to the setup with fc all that well.

as for the other issue with the keyboard, its an extreme issue IMO and I just
wanted to be sure it was known.

thanks for your reply, i'm glad to see people running flame control on this
list.
