Problem with timsieved on SUN

[hhuseman]

Hi Ken,

okay, one step further: sivtest is working now. The problem was that 
timsieved was unable to write into /usr/sieve, I created this directory 
and did a chown cyrus:other /usr/sieve.
Ah, and, I have the logs, I had to reconfigure my syslogd. Now sieve 
writes its messages to /var/adm/messages.
I can login now using sivtest, but, sieveshell is still not working.
I see the following entry in the log:

===========/snip/========================

=============/snap/========================
I found a thread which deals with the same problem:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=26358
so, I recompiled cyrus with

#define NI_WITHSCOPEID  0

but with the same result.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,

Harald
