OK. Confirmed. All the boxes I have were upgraded from Hardy. If I remove /etc/sasldb2 and recreate it in Intrepid it's root:root. If I do it on a Hardy box it's root:sasl.
** Summary changed: - Ownership of /etc/sasl2db precludes direct access by Cyrus IMAP + Ownership of /etc/sasl2db is root:root instead of root:sasl ** Description changed: Binary package hint: sasl2-bin Ubuntu: 8.04.1 Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-18ubuntu2 The Cyrus IMAP server runs as the user cyrus. But the /etc/sasl2db does not provide sufficient permissions for direct access by the IMAP server. saslauthd has no problems as it runs as root. - Fix: chown cyrus.sasl /etc/sasl2db + This file needs to be in the sasl group so that uses of the DB can + access it. This will also break Postfix's use of cyrus-sasl2 for SMTP + Auth. ** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High Status: New => Confirmed Target: None => intrepid-updates -- Ownership of /etc/sasl2db is root:root instead of root:sasl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288478 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cyrus-sasl2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
