You can check this with "fuser" as well, which is a bit more
'streamlined'.

# fuser -u /var/lib/imap/socket/idle
/var/lib/imap/socket/idle:  3851(cyrus)

  - shows that user cyrus process 3851 is listening on the socket.

Permissions should be something like the below;  i did meet a Cyrus site
once that was having odd issues and the permissions on the socket
*directory*  were rw-rw----.  That was weird.

# ls -ld /var/lib/imap/socket
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 4096 Sep  1 05:47 /var/lib/imap/socket
# ls -l /var/lib/imap/socket/idle
srwxrwxrwx 1 cyrus mail 0 Sep  1 05:47 /var/lib/imap/socket/idle
