Admin permissions broken?

[Ron Hensley]

I just ran into a related problem with a bad account.
Assuming you're running the commands as username cyrus,
cyrus needs write permissions to the actual files.
You mentioned manually creating the files and that the regular user
can't write to them.
Here's the files found for an existing user.
/usr/imap/quota/t/tester.ronh
/usr/imap/user/t/tester.sub
/usr/imap/user/t/tester.seen
/usr/sieve/t/tester
/var/spool/imap/user/tester

Look over all the files associted with your named 'test' and see if cyrus is the owner
as it is for all the other users files, and that the permissions are set the same.

Then try again.

  Hi there,

  I did manually create top level folders using an admin account. No the users do have no write permissions to the folders. So I tryed to delete them, but even this does not work! Here is some communication I had with cyrus:

  server:~ # cyradm --user cyrus localhost
  Please enter your password:
  Please enter your password:
  IMAP Password:
                localhost.localdomain>
  localhost.localdomain> sam test cyrus d

  localhost.localdomain> listacl test
  anyone lrs
  cyrus d

  localhost.localdomain> dm test
  deletemailbox: Permission denied


  Has anybody a good idea on how to solve that? Maybe sassl is not propperly installed?! However I am always! prompted twice for the same pw for login. So I do think that something is wrong.

  Thank you for any help on that!
