Re: Proper way to repair and remove quota in Cyrus 1.6.24
Paul Wiechman wrote: edited it in /proc/sys/fs/file-max Went to the extreme to try to get it to work. Well, as I said, you need to bump up fs.inode-max (/proc/sys/fs/inode-max in old-speak) as well, plus you neet to bump up your per-process limit (the kernel documentation in Documentation/proc.txt mentions this). On my RedHat 6.1 box, ulimit -Sn and -Hn return 1024, so unless you've adjusted those as well, you'll still strike this limit. -- Regards, Daryl Tester, Software Wrangler and Bit Herder, IOCANE Pty.

Re: How to tell imapd and imspd to advertize LOGIN?

Un-deletable mailbox
I am running cyrus imap-1.6.24 on RH6.2 A user created(with Netscape, a folder under INBOX.Collaborators named "B.R.Shaw" This had the effect of creating directories B, R, and Shaw under Collaborators. This is not what he wanted, but he cannot remove the folders using netscape, nor can I as administrator Note the parens on mailbox user.arnold.Collaborators.B Why is this? ... imap listmailbox "user.arnold.Collaborators" user.arnold.Collaborators imap listmailbox "user.arnold.Collaborators.B" (user.arnold.Collaborators.B) imap setaclmailbox user.arnold.Collaborators.B cyrusadmin d command failed: Mailbox does not exist How can I remove this mailbox? thanks Shelley Waltz Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) 679 Hoes Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854-5638 phone: (732) 235-3346

This should be documented somewhere in cyrus docs, since any reasonable size server will need this. I think the default is 4096, and you'll hit that quick. If your running RedHat, look at the /etc/sysctl.conf file for the best way to do this on boot. regards, David -- David L. Parsley Network Administrator Roanoke College

And here I was reading the source looking for a way, and RTFM would have done it. However, I wouldn't have guessed that from the man page: OPTIONS -p ssf Tell imapd that an external layer exists. An SSF (security strength factor) of 1 means an integrity pro- tection layer exists. Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection. Now, my real problem is that I'm using a php-based web client that uses imap-2000a c-client to connect to the Cyrus IMAP (and IMSP) servers. Both run on the same host, so network security is not an issue. C-client is supposed to authenticate with either CRAM-MD5 or LOGIN, but it seems only to use CRAM-MD5. I suspect that this is because the servers don't advertize LOGIN. I'm using the auto_transition feature of SASL to populate the CRAM-MD5 database from plaintext passwords. This means that users can login via the php-based web client until they have done one plaintext login by some other method. The result is mass confusion. I need a way out of this mess without degrading security too much. Any suggestions? -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
