A sun running Cyrus imapd v1.5 recently fell into my lap, and
I'm having a heck of a time getting it working correctly with
any new accounts I create.

running "lam user.accountname" says it has lrswipcda.

If I try and send mail to accountname on this machine, it doesn't get
delivered.. the logs show this:

Mar 11 11:59:28 ming deliver[5846]: IOERROR: opening
/var/imap/mailboxes: Permission denied

# ls -ld /var/imap/mailboxes
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 14331 Mar 11 11:35
/var/imap/mailboxes

Is this a simple permissions problem on the file? If so, what should
the perms be? If not.. can anyone point me in the right direction as to
what my problem is? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds like deliver isn't setuid Cyrus. Make sure that
/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver is owned by the cyrus-user (probably "cyrus") and is
setuid 4750.
