[Kolab-devel] rights on dir /kolab/var/imapd and ldap_simple_bind() failed

[Andrea Soliva]

Hello everybody

I thought I write this issue to the devel list because I do not really
know if you are aware of it or if it is not an issue. I have now
implemented 3 kolab2 servers by different customers. The kolab servers
itself are Fedora 3 based or Solaris. All works fine without any issues
and without errors except following (using Kolab 2.0.3):

--> On Solaris installation I had always this error:

==> /kolab/var/imapd/log/cyr_db.log  <==
Jan 20 15:37:08 kolab2 <error> ctl_cyrusdb[10533]: DBERROR: error listing
log files: Permission denied
Jan 20 15:37:08 kolab2 <error> ctl_cyrusdb[10533]: DBERROR: archive
/kolab/var/imapd/db: cyrusdb error
Jan 20 15:37:08 kolab2 <error> ctl_cyrusdb[10533]: DBERROR: error listing
log files: Permission denied
Jan 20 15:37:08 kolab2 <error> ctl_cyrusdb[10533]: DBERROR: archive
/kolab/var/imapd/db: cyrusdb error

I looked into this an could resolve the issue in the following way:

Because all files under /kolab/var/imapd are owned by kolab-r but the dir
"impad" has the rights:

kolab-r:kolab

I adjusted this with:

chgrp kolab-r /kolab/var/imapd

It means new the dir hast the rights:

kolab-r:kolab-r rwxr-x---

The errors disappeared now and all is working! Is this probably an issue
for your install script within the install process?


--> On Solaris and Fedora 3 installation I have always this error:

==> /kolab/var/sasl/log/saslauthd.log <==
Feb 13 13:10:05 kolab2 <debug> saslauthd[25951]: ldap_simple_bind() failed
-1 (Can't contact LDAP server).
Feb 13 13:10:05 kolab2 <info> saslauthd[25951]: Retrying authentication

Feb 13 13:10:05 kolab2 <debug> saslauthd[25951]: Domain/Realm not available.

I was not able to adjust this because I do not really understand
this...again all is working incl. LDAP global addressbook etc. and I'm
using all encrypted services etc. Is this an issue?

Can give me anybody a feedback depending this two issues! Many thanks in
advanced!

kind regards

Andrea
