You mean that it doesn't integrate well with the UNIX credentials system. THe issue here is that Cyrus needs to be able to hook create/delete actions on accounts, and UNIX fails to provide a means of doing this. I look at this as a UNIX deficiency. You can actually get around it by using "pw" and utilizing the script hooks it has. The easiest real fix for this would be to write a PAM module to cause the UNIX users to authenticate against the Cyrus database. > The cyradm program is extremely deficient. Not a big issue, I think. Writing scripts to encapsulate it and be "less deficient" is really very trivial. > Its great if you > want to offer people imap e-mail without offering them shell access.

I recommend you do not publicize the IP addresses of the servers, if they are net accessible outside your organization. 8-). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
