Hi Pat, Thank you very much for the help with Cyrus. >Check the ownership and permissions on the config directory. >That would be the configdirectory entry in the imapd.conf file. >(It's /usr/local/etc/imap on my system.)

But I made a big booboo. I didn't use the FBSD port first time around ... the original distribution uses /etc/imapd.conf (although you can change that). The FBSD port is configured to use /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf So, having both imapd.conf files on the system was rather confusing... imapd didn't break but it sure didn't respond to my configuration changes either. Kicked myself when I worked out what was happening. I should examine what the ports do to my system in future... Thank you very much for helping out and sending your config. data. >> If worse comes to worse, is it possible to manage cyrus >> without cyradm ? > >Of course.

But that would be even more painfull and error-prone. Yes ....I got desperate and tried it : the novelty soon wears off. chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
