When setting up cyrus-imap i ran accross some issues. Here are my notes. I'm
noit really expecting a response, as
it's not much of a bug report, as "worked for me, hope this helps".
1) pwcheck does not run.
tail -f /var/log/auth.log
/etc/init.d/pwcheck start
..... pwcheck: /var/run/pwcheck/pwcheck: No such file or directory
To resolve, I followed newgroup ideas. ln -s /var/state/pwcheck /var/run
2) In sendmail /usr/share/sendmail/update_tls reports that -rand should be
used. Ths was caused by the running of
openssl. Somehow, perhaps, a file of random (from /dev/urandom?) could be
supplied.
3) After installing cyrus, sendmail should be reconfigured with MAILER(cyrus).
4) As specified in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common/install.txt.gz:
8. LINUX SYSTEMS ONLY: Set the configuration, user, quota, and
partition directories to update synchronously. Failure to do this
may lead to data corruption and/or loss of mail after a system
crash.
cd /var/imap
chattr +S . user quota
chattr +S /var/spool/imap
Also set the queue directory of the mail daemon to update
synchronously. The following example is for sendmail:
/sbin/chattr +S /var/spool/mqueue
5) As specified in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common/install.txt.gz:
3. The Cyrus IMAP server uses the 4.3BSD syslog that separates
messages into both levels and categories. Invoke "man syslog" to
see if "openlog()" takes three arguments. If it does not, replace
the system "syslogd" and "syslog.conf" with the files provided in
the cyrus-imapd-1.5.14/syslog directory.
mv syslogd /etc/syslogd
mv syslog.conf /etc/syslog.conf
If you do not copy the "syslog.conf" file in
"cyrus-imapd-1.5.14/syslog" to the "/etc" directory, be sure to add
support for "local6.debug". The file should include a line like:
local6.debug /var/adm/imapd.log
Create the imapd.log file:
touch /var/adm/imapd.log
Perhaps the syslog entry should be made by default.

This bug seems to be against an ancient version of Cyrus (1.5), that has
been gone from Debian since before Sarge. I am reassigning it to the
original source package name, and closing it.
