Hi all,

I'm just running into big troubles migrating from Linux to FreeBSD
5.2.1;
while trying to set up Sendmail/Cyrus, I am facing multiple problems:

a) cyradm permanently segfaults
b) cyrus won't allow imap/pop access:
   it doesn't accept my credentials, saslauthd is running,
   accounts have been added via saslpasswd2
c) worst of all: sendmail can't deliver mails to cyrus
   because of a permission problem:
   the socket dir /var/imap/socket has the following perms:
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 imap-0.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 imap.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 imaps-0.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 imaps.lock
   srwxrwxrwx 1 root mail 0 Jun 22 19:34 lmtp
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 19:12 lmtpunix-0.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 pop3-0.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 pop3.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 pop3s.lock
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 cyrus mail 0 Jun 22 18:55 sieve.lock

   Sendmail apparently can't talk to cyrus, so I'm getting i/o errors;
   chmod'ing permissions to 775 gives me "group writable directory"
   problems, even having sendmail deliver mails as cyrus (via
   RUN_AS_USER in submit.mc) won't do it - so I'm completely busted.

Any hints appreciated,
thanks a lot in advance,
Oliver
