12.Remove "/etc/[x]inetd.conf" entries. Any imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s,
kpop, lmtp and sieve lines need to be removed from
/etc/[x]inetd.conf and [x]inetd needs to be restarted.
Configuring the Master Process
1.Choose a configuration from the master/conf directory:
small.conf
bare-bones server supporting IMAP and POP
normal.conf
server supporting IMAP, POP, the SSL wrapped versions, and
the Sieve script management protocol
prefork.conf
The same configuration as above, but with some preforked
processes for faster processing.
cmu.conf
Our configuration
To use normal.conf, do:
cp master/conf/normal.conf /etc/cyrus.conf
Optionally, you can edit /etc/cyrus.conf to disable or enabling
certain services, or to tune the number of preforked copies. Be sure
not to remove the entries that are labeled required.
2.Arrange to start "/usr/cyrus/bin/master" as root when the system
starts. It will bind some ports and then give up it's root privileges.
Until your system reboots, you can start the master process by
hand:
/usr/cyrus/bin/master &
3.Monitor the progress of the master process by examining the
imapd.log file. It should never exit by itself, but you can shut down
the
mail system by sending it a signal with kill.
