ok i have been working on this cyrus thing for about a year now
and still cannot get things to work. Please help
mostly i could not creat mail boxes but since the last time i tied that some othe
stuff has gon wrong see below.
added the following lines to my /etc/syslog.conf
local6.* /var/log/imapd.log
auth.* /var/log/auth.log
daemon.* /var/log/daemon.log
my /var/log directory listing and permissions are these correct
because i get nothing in my log they are both empty
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 31 19:33 imapd.log
-rw------- 1 root wheel 5555 Jun 14 01:02 auth.log
my imapd.conf file
#==============================================================================
# /usr/local/etc/imapd.conf @v20
#==============================================================================
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: rmvg
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
#end of file
#==============================================================================
the two directories mentioned in the config file above
are these the right permissions
/var/spool
drwxr-x--- 12 cyrus mail 512 Jun 14 01:23 imap
/var/spool/imap
drwxr-x--- 4 cyrus mail 512 Jan 29 01:51 imap
v20.computerking.ca > /var/spool #su cyrus
%tools/mkimap
tools/mkimap: Command not found.
WHAT THE ??? THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK
%cd /usr/local/cyrus/bin
%mkimap
mkimap: Command not found.

%./mkimap

i will configure directory /var/imap.
i saw partition /var/spool/imap.
done
