Hi Nuno,

First, thanks for the fast response!

I'm looking in /etc/init.d/kolab, and it looks to point at /kolab/etc/rc 
with some parameters. So I closed it and opened the rc script, and I 
can't find any reference to Cyrus or IMAP anywhere -- not to say that 
there isn't, because it *has* to call imap somewhere. So, the question 
is, where/what can I edit to make this change?

Also, I did an "su kolab" and ran ulimit. It appears to be unlimited. I 
did the same with kolab-n, with the same result.

So, the next question that I have is simple -- if this error isn't 
fatal, what is causing my imapd to fail loading. Is there a better place 
to look for some diagnostic output?

Again, thanks for all the help!!
