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
I think that's no problem because you don't use OTP anyway.
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?
Are you logged in as rmvg? If yes, then I guess it may still be a
permission problem on the file level. Is your cyrus group really cyrus?
It's mail very often.
i think i am logged on a su cyrus arent i? see below
localhost.computerking.ca> createmailbox user.test
createmailbox: Permission denied
localhost.computerking.ca> whoami
cyrus
No. whoami tells you that you did call cyradm as user cyrus. It doesn't
tell us that you logged in to cyrus as user cyrus. You have to specify the
user with cyradm --user xxx.
And then, your config shows that your cyrus admin is 'rmvg'. So, did you
login with cyradm as user 'rmvg'?
cyradm --user rmvg localhost
Password:
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with as rmvg
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I used the password i setup for cyrus user and also the rmvg user but
get the same error
I do have a user named cyrus
cyrus:*:60:60:the cyrus mail server:/usr/local/cyrus:/bin/csh
I do not have a cyrus group so i will try mail my mail group looks like
this do i need to add cyrus to it too
You already have a group named cyrus. Why then does your ls of /var/imap
show the files belonging to user and group cyrus?
I do not know that is what it said to do in the install-configure file
what should it be?
mail:*:6:postfix,clamav
have changed permissions of /var/imap and /var/spool/imap to mail group
cyrus user and still cyrus will not create users
I added the cyrus user to the mail group and still get the same
permission denied message like above
mail:*:6:postfix,clamav,cyrus
