Which version of cyrus are you using? And why do you say that the problem is with cyrus-sasl? ctl_mboxlist is using cyrus-imapd mailbox database.
You can try to kill ctl_mboxlist, then go to /usr/cyrus/bin do su cyrus and run ./ctl_cyrusdb -r. I guess in older versions it was ctl_mboxlist -r but I am not sure. If that doesn't help, you can dump mailboxes to a text file by ./ctl_mboxlist -d -f mailboxdump.txt, then rename /var/imap/mailboxes.db to mailboxes.db.old and run ./ctl_mboxlist -u <mailboxdump.txt Sincerely, Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kennedy van Dam Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "info-cyrus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 18:43 Subject: Problem with cyrus: daemon not responding - ctl_mboxlist running > Hi everybody. > > We suffer a problem with Cyrus-sasl. > > Taper (backup application) completly froze the server and we need to make a hard > reboot.
