cyrus-imapd -> /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d permission denied problem

[jordanvanbergen]

If I restart /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd i'm getting the following permission denied problems in /var/log/maillog:

Jun 21 20:34:34 ns2 master[28770]: unable to create imap listener socket: Permission denied
Jun 21 20:34:34 ns2 master[28770]: unable to create imaps listener socket: Permission denied
Jun 21 20:34:34 ns2 master[28770]: unable to create pop3 listener socket: Permission denied
Jun 21 20:34:34 ns2 master[28770]: unable to create pop3s listener socket: Permission denied

If I do the following:

ps -aux | grep cyrus
cyrus 14121 0.0 0.1 4904 1292 ? Ss 09:58 0:00 /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d

cyrus-master with -d option is running (it comes from /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd) but the imap / pop3 service not because of the above "permission denied" problems. If I kill the process myself:

[root@gg sysconfig]# kill 14121

and startup cyrus-master myself:

[root@gg sysconfig]# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d &
[1] 14134

everything is working (i see extra pop3 and imap processes). But of course if I reboot the machine or do "/etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd restart" cyrus won't be running again because of the permission denied problems. How can I make sure /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d runs as it should do? Now I have to kill the cyrus-master process first and then start it up manually using "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d &".

Anyone an idea on how to make cyrus-master work permanent when using /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd restart without getting the "permission denied" problems?

Check for /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd

service cyrus-imapd start
does this run?

Apparently there is something in service management batch file(cyrus-imapd) that gets stuck, and it it not directly related to imapd binary.

/etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd is present. If I do /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd restart I will get OK OK.

so Yes it runs after restarting, but it doesn't work because of the permission denied problems in /var/log/maillog. After killing cyrus-master and starting it manually: cyrus-master -d & everything is okay. So maybe you are right about the service management batch file (cyrus-imapd). Any idea what it might be?
