I've just installed cyrus1.5.2 on a clean FreeBSD 2.2.1 box for the third* time. Installation and configuration seemed to go ok, and imtest worked fine. But whenever I log in with the cyradm tool, and try to create a mailbox, the command fails. A typical session : #cyradm xxx.com.my imap xxx.com.my userid: chas xxx.com.my password: xxx.com.my> Apr 19 03:22:14 super imapd[psid]:login: xxx.com.my chas plaintext xxx.com.my>lm xxx.com.my>cm user.chas command failed: permission denied xxx.com.my>exit The user 'chas' is the admin in the /etc/imapd.conf and I have even tried chmod'ing 777 on /var/spool and /var/imap, in case it is file permissions. No joy whatsoever. What other permissions could be causing the problems ? If worse comes to worse, is it possible to manage cyrus without cyradm ? thank you immensely, chas *I first tried with the original source files (not the port) ... imapd compiled perfectly but cyradm failed due to the weird placement of tcl81 and tk81 libraries. I've also installed the cyrus port on a FBSD 2.2.5 box with the same errors - ie. the inability to create mailboxes (a wee problem for a mailserver).
