Yes, it says, sasl (from cyrus too) can do authentification against ldap via
pam, not cyrus-imap. so to be precise, cyrus-imap uses cyrus-sasl to
authenticate.

Yes, carus-imap uses a different userbase than your host. That is the
advantage of cyrus, you can have mail users that do not exist in the system.
use cyradm for this stuff. Beware, a cyrus-imap user called hugo must created
as user.hugo in cyradm (because it is a user, without the user. prefix it is
a simple mailfolder). So please read the documentation of cyradm.

If you had not configured SSL/TLS this must fail. Should not be a problem. see
the cyrus-imap configuration (usualy in /etc/master.conf).

So there is a documentation what to do after the installation fo cyrus-imap.
It is not realy complicated, but it does not work without these steps. I
don't know the rpm installation so please read the docs (may be in
/usr/share/doc/).
