Re: CYRUS_SERVICE Variable? Easy Question??
Try applying the attached patch. This will keep the service from exiting, but will still log any errors with respect to CYRUS_SERVICE. I'd like to find out if putenv() is failing, or something else is going on. If you want to know how/why CYRUS_SERVICE is used, read the "ACCESS CONTROL" section of cyrus.conf(5).

For this km> reason, and the fact that Larry and I both feel that most users won't be km> sharing their INBOXes, I'm not going to implement this right now. I'm not even sure at this point if we'll deploy this new namespaces provision as I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. However, it would have to happen that we're starting to create a few shared INBOXes. ;-) Currently, we're using the "bb." prefix as shared folders to mirror some internal lists, and the "archive." prefix to mirror a few external lists (like this one). However, for pseudo-users, or what I sometimes refer to as "managed" (yeah, right) shared folders, I've started using the prefix "user.". An example of this might be "user.helpdesk". There are a couple of reasons why I've been experimenting with shared folders that begin with "user.": - It means that folks can easily use "+detail" aliasing. So using the example of "helpdesk", I could funnel mail into "helpdesk+amos" or "helpdesk+call09892320". - Can use Sieve for this shared folder. One cheesy application might be to abuse vacation to act as a 'thankyou' auto-responder. - Sometimes when we created a "bb." folder as the pseudo-user for some group on campus, we've heard responses like "we don't want everybody to have access to this!". While it's true that user education can help here, one benefit of placing such specialty folders under "user." is that it clearly identifies these as being different than the mailing lists / news groups shared folders. However, like I said, at this point I'm not sure if we'll be deploying this namespaces thing or not. Frankly, and perhaps I'm just too far removed from the user support people to know any better, but I'm not aware that we've had any problems with the current behavior. Though, I suppose when word of this feature gets around, that might change. ;-) -- Amos
Re: CYRUS_SERVICE Variable? Easy Question??
Hmm. Looks like you're having bigger issues than just the env variable. Nothing come sto mind right now, but its late and I've had a few too many "pops". e-d0uble wrote: > > Applied patch and...
