Greetings,
I have two freshly installed Fedora 8 systems
exhibiting the same behaviour, cyrus admin permission error when creating a
mailbox, this may be only coincidental because of the operator.
After several days of research reading and
reviewing multiple cyrus installation howtos, then IMAP RFC, installing and
uninstalling, and following threads in discussion forums, I am unable
to find the persistant cause of the permission error.
Please direct me to some debugging method to solve
the permission complaint.
-------------system information
- cyrus is admin in imapd.conf
- user cyrus and group mail have permissions
in directories /var/spool/imap and /var/lib/imap
- cyradm and imtest connections are
authenticated
- cyrus authenticates via sasl_sql
- perl modules are current
- no error reporting in /var/log within messages,
auth.log, or cyrus.log
