Hello ... Its me again, sorry for the half-mailing a few minutes before -> false key-combination :-) Now the whole mail again.
I am totally confused and it seems, that i need your help today. Former i used SuSE distros with pre-installed Postfix-SASL-Cyrus system. Now i have to setup a box with Debian Woody and I ask me: Why you should take oder software, if you can get the freshest from the net. So i downloaded all relevant software like this: - Berkeley DB 4.3.27 - Openssl 0.9.7g - Postfix 2.2.2 - cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 - cyrus-imap-2.2.12 Firstly, I installed Berkely DB and linked the libs via ld.so.conf. After them, I installed openssl successfully. Then, in installed cyrus-sasl like the following: ./configure --enable-anon --enable-login --enable-plain --disable-krb4 --disable-otp --disable-cram --disable-digest --with-saslauthd=/var/run/saslauthd --with-pam=/lib/security --with-dblib=berkeley --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-plugindir=/usr/local/lib/sasl2 --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib make and make install will run without problems. All relevant files are there and I can also start the saslauthd via /usr/sbin/saslauthd -c -a pam& A tail on my syslog-file and netstat tells me, that saslauthd is up and running. May 10 00:08:46 machine saslauthd[31445]: detach_tty : master pid is: 31445 May 10 00:08:46 machine saslauthd[31445]: ipc_init : listening on socket: /var/run/saslauthd/mux unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 213210 /var/run/saslauthd/mux Ok so far. After them, I installed Cyrus-Imap with the following options: ./configure --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=mail --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/ usr/sbin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-perl --with-auth=unix --with-bdb=yes --with-dbdir=/usr/local/bdb/4.3.27 --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --without-ucdsnmp --with-sasl=/usr/local/lib/sasl2 make and make install will also run without problems. After the installation process, i will edit /etc/imapd.conf, /etc/imapd-local.conf and /etc/cyrus.conf like alot of examples in the net. Then I switch to user cyrus and run mkimap -> all well fine. Now is the time right to test the server: I do a /usr/cyrus/bin/master & BUT the server will not start up. No process from master, no LISTEN in netstat ... nothing. And this is the 5th time i install that system and every time i get the same thing. Nothing to hear from cyrus-imap. Here is all, what I have in my logfiles: May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31444]: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31444]: retrying with 1024 (current max) May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31444]: process started May 10 00:08:46 machine master[31446]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb May 10 00:08:46 machine ctl_cyrusdb[31446]: recovering cyrus databases May 10 00:08:46 machine ctl_cyrusdb[31446]: skiplist: recovered /var/imap/mailboxes.db (0 records, 144 bytes) in 0 seconds May 10 00:08:46 machine ctl_cyrusdb[31446]: skiplist: recovered /var/imap/annotations.db (0 records, 144 bytes) in 0 seconds May 10 00:08:46 machine ctl_cyrusdb[31446]: done recovering cyrus databases A netstat will not show up any listening on port 143: machine:/usr/src/lamps/cyrus-imapd-2.2.12# netstat -an |grep LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 138700 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 210983 public/cleanup unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 210990 private/rewrite unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 210994 private/bounce unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 210998 private/defer unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211002 public/flush unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211006 private/smtp unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211010 public/showq unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211014 private/error unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211018 private/local unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211022 private/virtual unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211026 private/lmtp unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211030 private/cyrus unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211034 private/uucp unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211038 private/ifmail unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211042 private/bsmtp unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 211046 private/scalemail-backend unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 213210 /var/run/saslauthd/mux If i try to connect to cyradm with cyradm --user cyrus --auth plain (or login) --server localhost, I get a: cyradm: cannot connect to server Please please ... if there is anyone out there who can help me ... IŽll spend you a big big beer if you can help me to fix that :-) Any help is very very appriciated.
