Cyrus again. Cyradm: cannot connect to server

[Jaroslav Vrbicky]

Hi list,

On my TSL 3.0 (also TSL 2.2) server I cannot log into cyradm at all!
When I run

# cyradm -u cyrus localhost

the answer is:

cyradm: cannot connect to server

This is pretty strange, because there is no sign of any error in logs.
Saslauthd is running, so I've tried to test it with testsaslauthd (is
missing in TSL 2.2 ?) and authentication is OK. In my previous post
(before swup --upgrade:):

http://lists.trustix.org/pipermail/tsl-discuss/2005-July/014910.html

this error did not appear, so I tried to reinstall server, but I didn't
succeed. I repeated installation in the same way as for the first time
but I forgot to start saslauthd prior to log in, so the error was same
as mentioned above. Then I started saslauthd service but when I tried to
log in, the error message did not change!

I realize that this strange behavior also includes TSL 2.2. Last time I
found it working was about 27th of June. Then after couple of upgrades
(don't know exactly which one) I can't log into cyradm at all now.

I don't know what else can I do about it. I can't manage my mailboxes at
all. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Is service /etc/init.d/cyrus started ?
I don't see anything wrong with connecting.
And as per your saying, saslauthd has already been started, right? Check
if they are running.

I started it with service cyrus start, but here is screen dump of
netstat: # netstat -pevan |grep cyrus

And here is screen dump for sasl: # netstat -pevan |grep sasl

And here is the rest: # cyradm -u cyrus localhost
cyradm: cannot connect to server

But then I tried to uncomment other service lines in my cyrus.conf
and restarted cyrus.

And now, it is working! I did not realize that the imap service is
essential for log into cyradm...

Thanks for your point.
