dovecot - Feb 2008 - Dovecot Cyrus query

Hi All,
I have a client that is currently using cyrus but wants to use dovecot 
(1.0.rc15) sasl authentication.
Is it possible to have the sasl authentication without having the 
dovecot binary running.

Yes it's possible. Quote from dovecot-example.conf:

# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s
# If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none".
#protocols = imap imaps

Best regards.
