i am having problems getting cyrus-imap to configure and work. it is installed jst cant get all the configurations to work. here is the command i have to run i will post what the instructions say to do and then post what i get when i run the certain command.

su cyrus

You are now the user cyrus. This is necessary for the files to have the correct owner and group. Continue:

tools/mkimap
cd /var/imap
chattr +S . user quota user/* quota/*
chattr +S /var/spool/imap
exit

ok the command i have having troubles with is

chattr +S . user quota user/* quota/*

this is what i get when i run it

cyrus@server:/var/imap$ chattr +S . user quota user/* quota/*
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat user
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat quota
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat user/*
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat quota/*
cyrus@server:/var/imap$

any help on this would be great thanks

To be quite honest with you, I'm fairly sure that you can ignore those instructions. The chattr +S command just sets the sync flag on the files. Ignoring this only means that your files may be a bit unstable if you get a real bad power failure, but if you're using a journalled FS, you should be pretty fine anyway.

ok well if that dont matter then i must have another problem then cause i run into a spot where im suppose to test the imap server and add a admin user and what ever here is what im suppose to do

8.1 Add the cyrus administrator
Run the following command to set up a user for cyrus

Code:

/usr/local/sbin/saslpasswd cyrus

8.2 Testing Cyrus IMAP

Code:

killall -HUP inetd
su cyrus
imtest -m login -p imap localhost

so i go and run them they all work till i get to the imtest command here is what i get when i run it as cyrus:

Code:

cyrus@server&#58;/$ imtest -m login -p imap localhost
failure&#58; prot layer failure
cyrus@server&#58;/$

any ideas
