Package: cyrus-imapd-2.4
Version: 2.4.17+nocaldav-2+b1
Hello,
I have noticed that Cyrus does not create necessary directory in /var/run
when needed. For example, when the following is specified in /etc/imapd.conf
lmtpsocket: /var/run/cyrus/lmtp
the directory /var/run/cyrus is not created, even though Cyrus starts up and
functions ok.
Expected: the directory /var/run/cyrus (or any other necessary top-level
directory) is created or Cyrus complains that directory is not writeable.
Solution: Do it in init.d script (very draft suggestion is attached) or via
/etc/tmpfiles.d/cyrus.conf:
d /var/run/cyrus 0755 cyrus mail

With best regards,
Dmitry
