"satimiscyrus" is displayed here as "user/satimiscyrus" NOT ""user.satimiscyrus"? Furthermore I'm NOT very clear of user"cyrus" password and admin"cyrus" password. I created admin"cyrus" password by running; # saslpasswd2 -c cyrus Password: xyz1 Again (for verification): xyz1 and user"cyrus" password by running; Enter new UNIX password: xyz Retype new UNIX password: xyz Most times I use "xyz". When I have to use "xyz1"? Please advise. TIA B.R. Stephen Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
