This is not related to csih. Neither cron-config nor exim-config use csih at all, but could probably benefit from a rewrite that does use it. csih only edits the rights of *newly created* account that csih, itself, created. It won't modify the rights of any existing account AFAICT. The same can't be said of cron-config/exim-config apparently.
