WHAT THE ????

[RYAN M vAN GINNEKEN]

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.
%
STILL NOTHING

%./mkimap
reading configure file...
i will configure directory /var/imap.
i saw partition /var/spool/imap.
done
creating /var/imap...
creating /usr/sieve...
creating /var/spool/imap...
done
%
OK IT WORKS LOOKS GOOD RIGHT

#============================================================================================
#/etc/cyrus.conf     @v20     standard standalone server implementation

  # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
#  idled                cmd="idled"
}

# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/socket

}

EVENTS {
  # this is required
  checkpoint    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30

  # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression
  delprune      cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" at=0400


  # this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
  tlsprune      cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}

# end of file
#======================================================================================

what syslog sayes at boottime
