Im not familiar with postfix, but using exim I was able to get this to work.
The key is exim changes to a given user depending on certain factors.
I've setup a procmail.generic file under /home/cyrus that is called by exim
/usr/bin/procmail -p procmail.generic. Then you can do your
delivery/filtering from procmail.
/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a USER -m user.USER
Here's a link to an article that goes into this a bit further.

Could it be because /dev/ttyS2 is in use by some other process? See if
"setserial /dev/ttyS3" works. "ps axw | grep tty" or "ls /var/lock"
could help.

That's how NT domains work. If the domain knows you (i.e., you log
into the domain) you can connect to resources in that domain.
Otherwise, you must identify and authenicate yourself to the domain.

When I compile a new kernel, the only thing I worry about is the bzImage
file (/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage), which I rename to vmlinuz
and move to /boot. If I remember (very seldom ;> ) I'll also move the
System.map file to /boot at the same time.
The vmlinux is, I beleive, an uncompressed kernel. As for module-info*,
I've never seen that.
You shouldn't have any problems. Just leave the existing files alone until
you get a more difinitive answer as to what they are.

The 2.2.* kernels don't appear to compile with zImage - even if I remove
most of the 'optional' features and compile the rest as modules. You may
want to instead tell people to try bzImage first (unless they run lowly
386's with 4 megs of RAM, in which case the wait won't be worth it).

I've never found that I was required to copy it over - I just got nagged
that the kernel and map file didn't sync.

Why not? As long as you keep your functional kernel around - what's the
problem? I hate booting from a floppy (It takes so damned LONG!).
When I compiled my first kernel, I left the one that came with SuSE sitting
in my /boot directory for a little over a month. By that time, I was more
comfortable with compiling kernels, and when I replaced it with a new(er)
kernel I finally removed it.
I don't see any point in going through all this;

>From what I understand, exim is a monolithic mta, like sendmail. Postfix

more secure, but in this situation, problematic.
The goal here is to avoid messing with the cyrus installation at all.
I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work. I've used a
wrapper that comes with the RH rpm; I've modified that wrapper, I've
changed the execute permissions on /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver to be a+rx.
Nothing works. Procmail runs, as far as I can tell, but there are no
error messages, and mail doesn't get deliverd, using either deliver or
the wrapper. However, if I run procmail by hand, as I did above, then
the message gets delivered appropriately. But it won't deliver, if the
message comes in via postfix. Which I don't understand, because
procmail runs with the same permissions in both cases.
This is really annoying. Surely there must be a reason why procmail and
the wrapper work, if run directly from the command line, but doesn't
work when it's called by the MTA

Under Korn shell at least, you can declare a variable uppercase, as:
typeset -U VAR_NAME
Then assign the other var's value to VAR_NAME...
Alternately you could do something like
VAR_NAME=`echo "${VAR_NAME}" | tr [a-z][A-Z]`

As Free Software? Probably in 17 years or so when the relevant patents
expire. (See, for example, http://www.mpegla.com/ for the patents on
MPEG-2 that are relevant. There are a whole slew of others as well,
controlled by the DVD Consortium.)
