I have the cyrus user in the db

I have the cyrus user as an admin in /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: rmvg cyrus
#sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop

I don't know if this matters...
# cat /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
I do not have a var/lib directory
i do have a /usr/local/lib/sasl but that would be wrong too i think.
below is the man page entry for imapd.conf do they mean
/etc/imapd.conf? /usr/local/lib/sasl2/cyrus.conf? or
/usr/local/ect/imap.conf? but pretty sure they mean /var/imap.
configdirectory: <none>
The pathname of the IMAP configuration directory. This
field is
required.
here is part of the config doc
4. Create the file "/etc/imapd.conf". Here is a sample "imapd.conf"
with a minimal number of values defined:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: curtj abell
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
For a description of all the fields in this file, see the
imapd.conf(5) man page. (Note that this file also exports values to
libsasl, the most important of them the pwcheck_method. In this
example, users are authenticated via the saslauthd daemon, which
can be run in a number of different ways.)
READ THE imapd.conf(5) MAN PAGE. There are options in there that
you will want to know about and default behavior that you may not
like.
Note that everyday users should not be administrators. Admins have
powers not granted to regular users and while the server allows
them to receive mail, some problems will occur if admins are used
as regular users. You also should not read mail as an
administrator. You should have separate accounts for reading mail
and administrating. This is especially true if using the
altnamespace option, because admins are always presented with the
standard (internal) namespace.
5. Create the configuration directory specified by the
"configdirectory" option in "imapd.conf." The configuration
directory is similar in concept to the "/usr/lib/news" directory.
It stores information about the IMAP server as a whole.
This document uses the configuration directory "/var/imap" in its
examples. This directory should be owned by the cyrus user and
group and should not permit access to other users.
cd /var
mkdir imap
chown cyrus imap
chgrp mail imap
chmod 750 imap
I HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS EVEN CHANGED PERMISSIONS ON ALL FILES TO 777 SO
THERE CAN BE NO PERMISSION PROBLEMS RELATING TO FILE SYSTEM RIGHT?
