I'm setting up postfix/cyrus imap on a new install of openSuse 11.4 (64 bit). Having a few problem, but before I get into the details of that, there is some strange problem that is causing cyradm and SMB/NMB to not run. When I try to run cyradm I get a message that login is disabled. The corresponding log entry in /var/log/messages is: Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee master[15424]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: executed Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: IOERROR: opening /var/lib/imap/user_deny.db: No such file or directory Apr 5 19:22:46 jimmee imap[15424]: accepted connection Looking in /var/lib/imap/ there are some files there but not user_deny.db. Not sure what this is about. Another log entry related to cyrus and repeats frequently is: Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee master[15280]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: checkpointing cyrus databases Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving log file: /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 Apr 5 19:17:44 ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: last message repeated 2 times Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving database file: /var/lib/imap/annotations.db Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving database file: /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: archiving log file: /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee ctl_cyrusdb[15280]: done checkpointing cyrus databases Apr 5 19:17:44 jimmee master[2330]: process 15280 exited, status 0 The file /var/lib/imap/db/log.0000000001 is 10MB in size. Kwrite would not open it, I'm not sure how else to view that file. Also Samba won't start properly, and I'm suspecting what ever is causing the cyrus imap issue may be causing the Samba issue as well. When I try to start SMB it will not start, but the log shows: Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15223]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.915759, 0] passdb/secrets.c:73(secrets_init) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15223]: Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.920246, 0] passdb/secrets.c:73(secrets_init) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: [2011/04/05 19:15:46.920365, 0] smbd/server.c:1234(main) Apr 5 19:15:46 jimmee smbd[15225]: ERROR: smbd can not open secrets.tdb When I try to start NMB it WILL start, but the log shows, and keeps repeating every few seconds: Apr 5 19:16:49 jimmee nmbd[15245]: [2011/04/05 19:16:49.624795, 0] nmbd/nmbd_serverlistdb.c:343(write_browse_list) Apr 5 19:16:49 jimmee nmbd[15245]: write_browse_list: Can't open file /var/lib/samba/browse.dat.. Error was Permission denied The install was a clean full disk format install on bare machine, install went without noticable incident. This seems to me to be some file system problem or maybe a permissions problem, not sure? I switched to runlevel 1 and ran fsck, no errors reported (default EXT4, all mount points on / ). I have a separate box with also clean 11.4 install (32 bit) with none of these problems. All help appreciated.
