Hi all.
Just upgraded our production server to 2.1.13. I must confess, yesterday afternoon and
evening were full of Gremlins (those little creatures that screw up your, otherwise,
perfect plan for upgrade).
Well, I got the Cyrus UP and RUNNING, but there are some subtle points which fail and
make me nervous.
POINT 1: admin
-----------------
I have users "cyrus" and "root" listed as admins in the "imapd.conf" file. I can login
as "root" via "cyradm", no problem (cyradm --auth=cram-md5 --user=root localhost). I
can create mailboxes "cm user.nikola".
What I cannot do is:
list mailboxes ("lm" just gives empty line),
delete a mailbox ("dm user.ene" just gives "deletemailbox: " and the mailbox is still
there)
list ACL for a mailbox (again, a blank line)
I CAN set ACL for mailbox ("sam user.ene root lrwp" gives "setaclmailbox: root: lrwp:")
What is going on here? I'd expect it to be some general ACL problem, but if someone
can advise, I'd be grateful.
POINT 2: imapd complains
----------------------------
I am seeing this in "imap.log"

POINT 3: (could be gone) IdleD problems.
-------------------------------------------
I was seeing complaints from both "imapd" and "lmtpd", that they couldn't connect to
"idled socket", but those are gone at the moment. The log contained this:

This was at a stage when TLS was not working and one of those Gremlins was around, so,
I would not be surprized if that was the cause.
TYIA,
Nix.
