Creating Users

[Jed L Obray]

OK, I've been reading through the archives looking for a solution to this
problem for about 1 1/2 hours.  I've seen it several times but none of the fixes
listed are working for me.  So, here goes....

I am running:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= version info =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
name       : Cyrus
version    : v2.0.16
vendor     : Project Cyrus
support-url: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus
os         : Linux
os-version : 2.4.10-4GB
environment: Cyrus SASL 1.5.24
             Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.1.17: (July 31, 2000)
             OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= imapd.conf =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus jed
allowanonymouslogin: no
autocreatequota: 10000
reject8bit: no
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 30
poptimeout: 10
dracinterval: 0
drachost: localhost
sasl_pwcheck_method: pam


I installed the server several months ago with the intention of only having 2
users, myself and my wife.  We are both users of the local machine and have
local accounts created.  We have been using the server successfully since.  I
created the users in cyradm and everything was working lovely.

Now, I want to add a couple of users to Cyrus but not to my local machine.  I do
not want local accounts created for them, just mailboxes and imap accounts. 
When I log onto cyradm as -user cyrus -server localhost, it authenticates just
fine (I guess) and puts me to the prompt.  I enter cm user.username and its
retorts: Permission Denied.

I have checked all of the permission in the cyrus directories /var/imap and
/var/spool/imap.  They are set correctly to cyrus:mail.

I would REALLY appreciate some help.  I'm sorry to post this repetitive question
to the list, I saw several threads that described similar problems.  I did try
to apply those solutions before posting.

Thank you!

Jed
