The script /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mkimap was run as user cyrus, as per the instructions. I think you should follow the instructions mentioned in the Fedora rpm docs and not the generic instructions of the cyrus docs. IMHO things like mkimap should not be needed with a packaged version of cyrus (but of course it should not break things). If it still fails after following the package docs you may report this to Fedora as the package could have a bug then. Regards, Simon Surely cyrus CANNOT create a root owned file ??

Surely this is not right? Looks like the deamons are crashing imediately! What do you see in your syslog for Cyrus? I assume you will see an error message about unable to open mailboxes file. We need to figure out where the mailboxes file is located and whether the cyrus user owns it and has the correct permissions on it. To me, this sounds like a problem with an incorrectly created Cyrus configuration directory and/or mail spool directory. I'm not familiar with the Fedora Cyrus package, but maybe there is something the package is supposed to do when it is installed? If someone else knows the Fedora package, hopefully they will speak up. Either way, we can fix this!
