Ok, well, I'm looking at it:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

I'm also seeing the contents of the /usr/share/docs/cyrus-imap-*/
directory that references the link:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/FAQ

and looking at that link, they talk about RedHat lagging behind
on the PAM release.

Well, this is more than a bit confusing.  It looks like Cyrus
is the one lagging behind... or at least, whoever set the options
that the Redhat RPM's get packaged with did.

What *should* Cyrus be using to authenticate?

This is assuming that I don't want all users having mailboxes to
have entries (accounts) in /etc/passwd...  I can seed their passwords
manually using saslpasswd -f /etc/sasldb2 ...
