Hello i use freebsd 4.11 stable, have been using BINC IMAP and cyrus-sasl-2.1.20_1 and cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.20_1 for imap and postfix Authentication. BINC IMAP is a great little program but does not have the support for virtual users that i need or the robustness of cyrus. Recently I been trying to get cyrus-imapd-2.2.12_1 with berkly db43-4.3.28 on my freebsd box have followed the instructions to the letter but when tried to run mkimap for the cyrus su it did not work so just ran it from the regular su account that seemed to work fine.

I login as cyrus su then run the command cyradm localhost and then my password everything seems to work fine on the command line.
However watching the auth.log i see this when i enter cyradm localhost
Aug 15 18:24:14 tokyo imap[89348]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied

Then this when i enter a password
Aug 15 18:25:03 tokyo imap[89348]: no user in db

next i try to create a user like this createmailbox user.smith and get createmailbox:permission denied all the time please help what am i doing wrong?

Have added the following to my /etc/syslog.conf but have an empty imapd.log the auth.log stuff seems to work ok.

local6.debug                                    /var/log/imapd.log
