@tmb: ping! As you are maintainer I don't want to push this without your
+ACK.

+> In the systemd version it runs a file before executing the daemon:
+> /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyr_systemd_helper start
+> 
+> This script (stolen from fedora) uses the "runuser" command from
+> coreutils. While I'm not sure I fully appreciate the difference between
+> runuser vs. "su -c" we do provide the utility, and thus IMO it should work!

+> I've applied the same pam configs as fedora use to our coreutils package
+> here:
+> 
+> Can someone review? I've tested that that putting these files on my mga2
+> box makes cyrus-imapd run fine.
+> 
+> So if this is OK, it needs to be pushed as an update to Mga2. I'll do
+> that once the maintainer (tmb) ACKs it.
