unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied

[Alex Prinsier]

Try:
chgrp mail /etc/sasldb2
chmod 660 /etc/sasldb2

You seem to have configured cyrus to access sasldb2. That means you
should give it access to the database too :) Currently it's set only
root can read/write it.

If you're not using sasldb2 you should probably better disable it in
your config.

Hope it helps.
