I'm trying to install Cyrus IMAP on machine and all goes well until
I try to test the server. I think the problem is that I don't understand
the format for configuring xinetd.
If I try to telnet onto port 143, I get a refused connection. Checking
the log, gives me:
Jul 10 14:46:38 trontos3 imapd: could not getenv(CYRUS_SERVICE); exiting
If I run cyrus directly, I get something:
[root at trontos3 /root]# imapd
* OK trontos3 IMAP4rev1 v12.264 server ready
Which leads me to believe that I've mucked up the xinetd configuration.
>From the Cyrus HOWTO for inetd:
imap stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd imapd
What I've given xinetd:
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = cyrus
server = /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
Any clues?
TIA,
Doug
