[Kolab-devel] [issue1125] Rights on dir /kolab/var/imapd

[Andrea]

New submission from Andrea <soliva at comcept.ch>:

I thought I write this issue because I do not really know if you are aware of 
it or if it is an Solaris related 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 upgraded from 2.0.1):

--> 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

Jan 20 15:37:08 kolab2 <error> ctl_cyrusdb[10533]: DBERROR: archive
/kolab/var/imapd/db: cyrusdb error

I looked into this an tried to solve the issue in the following way:

Because all files under /kolab/var/imapd are owned by kolab-r except master.log 
in log dir and the dir "impad" has the rights:

kolab-r:kolab

I adjusted this with:

chgrp kolab-r /kolab/var/imapd

It means new the dir has now the rights:

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

The log dir shows me some funny rights it means:

drwxr-x---    2 kolab-r  kolab-r      1024 Feb 13 00:01 .

I changed this to:

chgrp kolab-r /kolab/var/imapd/log/*
chown kolab-r /kolab/var/imapd/log/*
chown root:root /kolab/var/imapd/log/master.log*

I do not see again the errors but I do not know if the adjustment are correct 
done without impact to other aspects! As I remember I have these errors since 
installing 2.0.1! Is this probably an issue depending the install script within 
the install process?
