I'm trying to get a front end slave server working and this is what I'm seeing.
When starting the services on the front end slave this is logged to /var/log/imapd.log: Feb 1 16:05:19 cepheus master[9045]: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted Feb 1 16:05:19 cepheus master[9045]: retrying with 1024 (current max) Feb 1 16:05:19 cepheus master[9045]: process started Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9046]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9046]: recovering cyrus databases Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9046]: skiplist: recovered /var/imap/mailboxes.db (9 records, 880 bytes) in 0 seconds Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9046]: done recovering cyrus databases Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9045]: ready for work Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9047]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9048]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9047]: checkpointing cyrus databases Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus imap[9048]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9047]: archiving log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001 Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9047]: archiving database file: /var/imap/mailboxes.db Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9047]: archiving log file: /var/imap/db/log.0000000001 Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus ctl_cyrusdb[9047]: done checkpointing cyrus databases Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9049]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9050]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus imaps[9049]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus pop3[9050]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9051]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9052]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/mupdate Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9053]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpproxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus imaps[9049]: imaps: required OpenSSL options not present Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus pop3s[9051]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus mupdate[9052]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9045]: process 9049 exited, status 75 Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus lmtpunix[9053]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9045]: process 9047 exited, status 0 Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9056]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus master[9057]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3proxyd Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus imap[9056]: executed Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus pop3[9057]: executed This on the front end slave in auth.log: Feb 1 16:05:20 cepheus mupdate[9055]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2 This on the master in imapd.log: Feb 1 16:14:22 zeus mupdate[7313]: accepted connection This on the master in auth.log: Feb 1 16:14:22 zeus mupdate[7317]: DIGEST-MD5 server step 1 So, this indicates to me that the slave is communicating with the master and the databases are being synced. Now when I telnet localhost 110 on the front end slave I don't get a banner: [root@cepheus root]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Which would indicate to me that the pop3proxyd is still waiting on something, but I don't know what. Am I wrong about the databases being synced? Is there a way to tell?
