Some more information to share with you all..
I figure out the error that was previously shown (cannot find db..) is
becoz the directories inside /var/imap doesn't exist. I created the
following directories and grant the right cyrus:mail to all of them and
the error has gone away.
/var/imap
/var/imap/db
/var/imap/proc
/var/imap/socket
Besides, I found that my previous installation is linking to Berkeley DB3
and thus, I recompile everything, and yet, I am not sure if it is still a
problem since, from ldd, I find that "master" is linking to a little bit
different .so (the digit inside the bracket is different from the other).
The other I have done is, I have created a symbolic link at /lib which will
link the lib-4.0.so to the real location. Since if I don't do this, I will haev
an error saying the .so cannot be found in the /lib location when I run
Cyradm.
uatwebmail:/lib # ldd /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
libdb-4.0.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib/libdb-4.0.so
(0x40047000)
uatwebmail:/lib # ldd /usr/cyrus/bin/master
libdb-4.0.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib/libdb-4.0.so
(0x40024000) <--------------- different from the other
uatwebmail:/lib # ldd /usr/local/sbin/saslpasswd2
libdb-4.0.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib/libdb-4.0.so
(0x40047000)
And after doing all these, I can telnet into the imap server as well as by
using "imtest". But I have difficulty in getting into it by using Cyradm, the
below error was show,
uatwebmail:/lib # /usr/local/bin/cyradm --auth login -u cyrus localhost
Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Cyrus/
IMAP/Admin.pm line 110
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with login as ronnie
and in /var/messages, the follwoing error was shown,
Apr 29 20:16:57 uatwebmail imapd[12297]: accepted connection
Apr 29 20:16:57 uatwebmail imapd[12297]: badlogin:
localhost[127.0.0.1] plaintext ronnie SASL(-13): authentication failure:
checkpass failed
I bet I am having some kind of user right problem but I have checked
everywhere but have no idea where it is.
Regards,
Ronnie
