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 Chip Robert Schmid wrote:
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?
