This might sound silly, but I'm a rather junior systems admin and I'm very new to cyrus admin, so i don't know what version we're running, but its at least a release or two old. I got everything back up and running... when I said earlier that I had already tried restarting the cyrus master process... what I was really doing was giving it the hangup signal thinking that it would reread the configs, which it wasn't doing... so I had to use the /sbin/services whateveritwascalled restart, and that did the trick. Thanks for your responses! Josh K.
