I'm testing out the latest Slackware distribution with the 2.0.7 version
of Cyrus, along with the latest version of SASL.
I have tested and verified that sasl is working all right, at least
through the ability to add users to the sasldb and see them, etc.
I can start the master just fine, but when I telnet to the imap port I
get a connection, but nothing ever comes from the server, INCLUDING THE
EXPECTED PROMPT.
Here's what the logs look like:
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8921]: process 8923 exited, status 75
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8921]: ready for work
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8924]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8925]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_deliver
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8921]: process 8925 exited, status 75
Dec 2 13:11:28 phlegethos master[8921]: process 8924 exited, status 75
Dec 2 13:11:35 phlegethos master[8927]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
Dec 2 13:11:35 phlegethos master[8921]: process 8927 exited, signaled
to death by 11
I'm not sure where to look next. Looking at the logs for a "normal"
server shows that ctl_deliver, for instance, ought to give me some
logging output, and in particular I note that when the "about to exec"
is done, in a normal log the next line looks something like this:
Dec 2 13:46:14 phle master[1525]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
Dec 2 13:46:14 phle service-imapd[1525]: executed
Dec 2 13:46:14 phle imapd[1525]: accepted connection
The two installations were pretty much identical in nature, especially
in terms of file setup, configuration options, and owner/permissions.
I don't know quite where to turn next. I'm almost certain none of the
child programs are being spawned, but I don't know how to go about
finding out why not.
Thanks in advance for any help that might be forthcoming.
