Thanks a lot for your answer Wolfgang.
Let me point you in my actual situation:
I have downloaded the latest version of imapd-cyrus: 2.0.15. (tgz format)
I wanted to install the sasl libraries from tgz source, but I prefer to
use the rpm that come with the distribution because I have a lot of
dependences with other packages. These are the sasl-packages that I use:
cyrus-sasl-devel-1.5.24-17
cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-17
Well After that I follow the instructions that comes with the tgz tarball:
1. configure --disable-sieve // if I don't do that, configure fails
2. make depend
3. make all CFLAGS=-O
4. create an user id:cyrus, group: mail
5. add the syslog lines to set up the log files
6. create this /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: curtj abell
sasl_pwcheck_method: passwd
7. setup to user cyrus.mail and permisions 750 this directories:
/var/imap
/var/spool/imap
8. I change to the user cyrus and run the tools/mkimap file that comes in
the cyrus' tarball. (NOTE: of course this file have root.root attributes
so I copy it to /tmp and change the owner to cyrus.mail).
9. Change attributes of this files:
cd /var/imap
chattr +S user quota user/* quota/*
chattr +S /var/spool/imap /var/spool/imap/*
10. I remove the xinetd files regarding to imapd and pop3
11. Copy a "pre-builded" cyrus.conf file from cyrus' tarball:
cp master/conf/normal.conf /etc/cyrus.conf
12. Finally I launch the master daemon as root:
/usr/cyrus/bin/master
And this is what I get from my /var/log/imapd.log:
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: process started
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25509]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: process 25509 exited, status 75
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25510]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_deliver
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: process 25510 exited, status 75
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: ready for work
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25511]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: process 25511 exited, status 75
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25512]: about to exec
/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_deliver
Jul 10 14:35:22 develop2 master[25508]: process 25512 exited, status 75
Directories and files form cyrus to up (/usr/cyrus && /usr/cyrus/bin) has
this permisions:
permisions: drwx------
user: cyrus.mail
I say that because, I don't know why but the /usr/cyrus was of the user
root, group root, so the master gave me errors when it was trying
execute some files on the bin directory.
Anyway, please, A little of help.......
thank you again.. I'll be waiting your news.....
