Do you have imapd configured to start from inetd; or do you leave a daemon running all the time? Make sure you have a pwcheck daemon running; and that the fifo has been created. (I believe the default configuration specifies the fifo path as /var/pwcheck/pwcheck ) Try manually starting inetd, in daemon mode, and check the log file before attempting to run cyradm. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
