unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Permission denied

[Leon Kolchinsky]

Hello All,


I have a working mail system Cyrus+Postfix+Web-cyradm+Amavisd-new(SA+ClamAV)
with 2 virtual domains.

All is working, but I've noticed that I keep getting:
--------------------------------------------------
Jan  9 10:28:20 mail pop3[25728]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2:
Permission denied
Jan  9 10:28:23 mail pop3[25728]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2:
Permission denied
Jan  9 10:29:55 mail pop3[25728]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2:
Permission denied
Jan  9 10:29:58 mail pop3[25728]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2:
Permission denied

in my /var/log/warn file.


I did a little googling and thought that this procedure would help (adding
mail and postfix to the same group):
# ls -l /etc/sasldb2
-rw-r-----  1 root root 12288 Sep 15  2005 /etc/sasldb2

Now check the group of cyrus user:
# cat /etc/passwd| grep cyrus
cyrus:x:96:12:User for cyrus-imapd:/usr/lib/cyrus:/bin/bash

Now make sure that cyrus and postfix in the same group and restart cyrus and
postfix:
# cat /etc/group| grep 12
mail:x:12:mail,postfix


But it didn't help and I'm still getting these "Permission denied" messages.

Where are they coming from and how to get rid of them?


Best Regards,
Leon
