Robert,

you will have to assign the cyrus imap server a password using the
passwd command.

To prevent logons to the imap account, you will have to
put deny user in the sshd_config file
with the line

DenyUsers cyrus

next make sure you are using atleast one instance of imap.
SERVICES {
  # add or remove based on preferences
  imap          cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=1
  imaps         cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=1




cyradm -u cyrus --auth PLAIN your.host
Password:<your password>
IMAP Password:<imap password>

once your are in, you can use the cm user.name to create the mailbox

I am running Cyrus IMAP on Mac OS X 10.4 Server and I am having several
problems.

I have a user who has access to another user's mailboxes from a mailbox
called 'Other Users'.  I have tried to change the ACL on these mailboxes
to remove access but I have been unsuccessful in doing so.  I have dumped
the mailboxes.db file and I can't find any mailbox called 'Other Users'.

It is possible that I did this a while back during an experiment with
shared folders but I have no idea how I did it.

I am also having a problem logging in to cyradm.  I can not login using

cyradm --user cyrusimap localhost  (cyrusimap is the OSX cyrus user)

I get the two login prompts, - the first is OK but I can't get past the
second unless I specify another user.  The docs say that the cyrusadmin
should not be able to read email so cyrusimap has no mailboxes.

I'm guessing that if I can fix the login problem I can find this shared
folder and fix the problem so what do I need to do to login as cyrus and
not as another user?
