Re: emergancy help needed
I hope these questions do not come over as terse or rude. I am genuinely trying to understand how to get login/sasldb authentication working, and confused by messages that appear - to me - to be contradictory.

How do I migrate seen databases to skiplist?
Hi. I've converted all my databases in Cyrus (2.1.9) to skiplist in hopes of stopping those annoying DBERROR messages. In that process I came to realize that I could not use the seen-files any more because they would be incompatible with the new format. Is there any way I can migrate those old files to the new format (I believe they were Berkley DB - whatever is the default - and now they are skiplist)? Thanks in advance, Erik.
RE: How do I migrate seen databases to skiplist?
I used cvt_cyrusdb to convert the .seen files to skiplist. They were in flat format on my machine. You should have a man page.

The cvt_cyrusdb program, in a form like:
(all one line, you'll need to modify for your specific needs)
find /var/imap/user -name \*.seen -exec /usr/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb \{\}
flat \{\}.new skiplist \; -exec mv \{\}.new \{\} \;

Re: cyrus-dir-hash?
On Fri, Nov 01, 2002 at 01:24:56PM +0800, Liu Jinhui wrote: When I compile cyrus-2.0.16, I used a patch called cyrus-dir-hash from http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/source/ This patch is included with recent version of Cyrus. Only a configure option is required to activate it. It simply centralizes all directory hashing into one function: dir_hash_c(). By default, this function uses the old hashing scheme, based on the first letter of the user name. When the compile-time symbol USE_DIR_FULL is defined, it uses the new scheme that hashes all letters of the user name to provide an even hash distribution. I wonder how much it will help the performance of cryrus-imap. In my situation , almost all users name are beginning with the same letter: 'u'. The performance improvement depends on how many users you have, and on how well your UFS implimentation handles large directories. With Solaris, for example, performance is pretty bad with 20,000 entries in one directory. It's reasonable with only 1000 entries. -- -Gary Mills--Unix Support--U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
Re: timsieved isn't listing any auth methods
Nick Fisher wrote: Hi People, I can't get timsieve to list it's one auth method... PLAIN and thus can't get sieveshell to work. This is the second set of posts I've made so if this seems a little familiar that's because it is ;) I've been working on and off on this bug for about two months now :( The problem is that timsieved isn't listing it's auth method and I don't know why. I'm using PLAIN as my auth method becuase I'm using pam_mysql to authenticate against a MySQL DB. I know that Plain is insecure but I have a firewall. I have tryed a number of things mostly revolving around the sasl2 plugins and none have helped in the least. I am intrested in ANY wild ideas that anyone might have about what to try next but please read the stuff below detailing what I have already tryed. I would also be most intrested to know if anyone managed to get PLAIN auth against PAM to work with timsieve... Or if anyone has timsieve working with *just* the PLAIN auth method. The one idea I still have is that timsieve isn't reading it's config data from /etc/imapd.conf. I have no clue as to how to check if this is a problem any ideas most welcome. My guess is that you don't have PLAIN for _any_ of the services because the plugins aren't installed where Cyrus/SASL can find them. By default, they should be in /usr/lib/sasl2. This can be changed via configure options at compile time, but you need to make sure that both Cyrus and SASL are configured similarly. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

Re: blocking logins at server
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2002 12:55:03 -0500 From: twk [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are running both 1.5.x and 2.1.x versions of Cyrus. I have a $#%$^#$%^ user that has his email client set to check every folder ever few seconds. I can't remove him from the password file, as we use Kerberos for authentication. I don't want to disable him in kerberos, just block his logins to the server. Is there any relatively straightforward way to do this? As you might've suspected, we've never implemented anything to do this. I've been down on the idea of adding an extra syscall every time through the cmdloop() just to add this functionality. Larry
RE: blocking logins at server
Why not disable his account? That will get his attention, and then you can educate him and have him reset the check-mail interval in their client. We do this regularly. You'd be amazed how fast someone that you can never get ahold off will show up in your office when their account doesn't work and only you can fix it. :-) Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) TCS Department Coordinator The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ -Original Message- From: Lawrence Greenfield [mailto:leg+;andrew.cmu.edu] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 4:01 PM To: Info-Cyrus; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: blocking logins at server Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2002 12:55:03 -0500 From: twk [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are running both 1.5.x and 2.1.x versions of Cyrus.
