This all depends on your configuration. The default on RHEL4 is to use system accounts for auth, which means you have to set a password for unix user cyrus. Then try cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost > > is this the correct way to do : > > cyradm -u cyrus localhost > cm user.MYUSERNAME This is correct. However, please note that usernames are case sensitive, so maybe you want: cm user.myusername One more note: The package shipped with RHEL4 contains the autocreate patches, so you can set this in imapd.conf to let it create mailboxes for authenticated users on the fly: autocreatequota: -1 createonpost: yes Simon > > ? > > I've some perl script to generate my mail users, does any body have a > perl example that will do the same? > > Thanks for Help, > Manson Thomas. > > > On 12/16/05, Thomas Manson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> i'm looking for a marvellous book about cyrus administration that >> would be up to date, understandable and that make you have sweet >> dreams about Cyrus :o) >> >> Also, if I could buy it on amazon.fr, that would be nice :o) >> >> Thanks, >> Manson Thomas. >> > ---- > Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus > Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu > List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html > ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
