Sorry if I got impatient Craig, my emails take a long time sometimes  
to show up on the list and I sent one after the other.

I installed cyrus-imapd using yum, I did nothing to it. Same thing  
with openssl, I have what got installed with FC6.
I'm still getting the same messages.
Cyrus-imapd works fine as long as I don't try to connect to it on  
port 993 ( ssl ). So I don't think berkeleydb is the problem if cyrus- 
imapd works fine authenticating my virtual users without using SSL.
Cyrus seems to just not wanting to take the certs.
Thanks, I appreciate your help.
