Hi guys,

	Twice now in the last 3 days I've had sendmail stop being able to deliver
e-mails to cyrus via the unix lmtp mechanism.

	I'm on Debian testing, with sendmail 8.12.9-5, cyrus21 2.1.14-1 packages.

	The other day I found that the /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp socket had become
owned by root.root.  When I changed it to cyrus.mail then mail started flowing
again.  Today, the same thing is happening, except when I re-changed the
permissions mail is still not flowing.  If I manually set the permissions to be
cyrus.mail and then restart cyrus, a couple seconds after cyrus comes back up
the permissions flop back to root.root.

	Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how to solve this issue
permanently?

	I've double checked all the socket definitions in sendmail.mc and cyrus.conf to
make sure that they are all pointing to the right locations.  cyrus is the
trusted user in sendmail (if that helps).


	Thanks,
