Cyrus - can't create user mailbox

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 6.06 drake amd64


I'm following;

Cyrus
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cyrus

building IMAP/POP servers.


Packages installed;

postfix

cyrus-admin-2.2 
cyrus-clients-2.2 
cyrus-imapd-2.2 
sasl2-bin
cyrus-pop3d-2.2

libc-client-dev
gamin
* end *


Everything is going on smoothly w/o problem.


Coming to creating Mailbox I can't proceed further;


$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password: 
localhost> cm user.satimiscyrus
createmailbox: Permission denied
* end *
