Package: cyrus21-imapd
Version: 2.1.18-1
Severity: normal

If the SSL certificate specified in /etc/imapd.conf is not world
readable, then imapd dies shortly after starting.  This is because imapd
runs as user cyrus.  An ugly workaround was to 'chgrp mail' the key,
since cyrus is in the mail group, but there should be a better way.
Perhaps, as other unpriviledged daemons, imapd should start as root
to load the key and then drop to lower privs.
