Hi All, I'm configuring a mail server using Postfix and Cyrus-Imap on Mandriva 2007 spring and am having a hell of a time getting it to run in imaps secure mode although it works fine in unsecure imap mode. I've generated certificates for the Cyrus imap installation and have copied them into a folder in /var. su'ing to user Cyrus allows me to cat the certificates in their directory so I know it's not permissions thing but whenever I try to log in from a remote machine I get the following in /var/log/mail/info : Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost cyrus-master[11589]: process 11596 exited, status 0 Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost cyrus-master[11606]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost imap[11606]: executed Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost cyrus-master[11607]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/pop3d Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost pop3[11607]: executed Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost cyrus-master[11608]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost cyrus-master[11609]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/pop3d Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost imap[11608]: executed Aug 19 10:45:18 webhost pop3[11609]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11610]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11610]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11611]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11612]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11611]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11612]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11613]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/pop3d Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost pop3[11613]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11614]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11614]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11615]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11616]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11616]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost cyrus-master[11617]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/pop3d Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost pop3[11617]: executed Aug 19 10:45:20 webhost imap[11615]: executed Aug 19 10:45:46 webhost imap[11602]: accepted connection Aug 19 10:45:46 webhost cyrus-master[11618]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:45:46 webhost imap[11618]: executed Aug 19 10:46:06 webhost imaps[11603]: accepted connection Aug 19 10:46:06 webhost cyrus-master[11628]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd Aug 19 10:46:06 webhost imaps[11628]: executed Aug 19 10:47:03 webhost cyrus-master[11589]: process 11602 exited, status 0 Aug 19 10:47:46 webhost imaps[11603]: imaps TLS negotiation failed: [172.20.0.212] Aug 19 10:47:46 webhost cyrus-master[11589]: process 11603 exited, status 75 Aug 19 10:47:46 webhost cyrus-master[11589]: service imaps pid 11603 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally It sounds like it's hanging on trying to load the SSL cert but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be able to if I can cat the cert file as user cyrus. imap conf file as follows: configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sieveusehomedir: no sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_ca_file: /var/lib/imap/server.pem tls_cert_file: /var/lib/imap/server.pem tls_key_file: /var/lib/imap/server.pem Any help gratefully appreciated.
