Is there anything interesting in the logs? There seems to be a bad interaction between Cyrus and DB 4.1.25 which might explain what you are seeing. Its been fixed in CVS. The other common explanation for hangs is /dev/random running out of entropy, but I don't think that would affect ctl_cyrusdb. -- David Carter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Computing Service, Phone: (01223) 334502 New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Fax: (01223) 334679 Cambridge UK.
