[Bug 288478] Re: Ownership of /etc/sasl2db precludes direct access by Cyrus IMAP

[Scott Kitterman]

OK.  Confirmed.  All the boxes I have were upgraded from Hardy.  If I
remove /etc/sasldb2 and recreate it in Intrepid it's root:root.  If I do
it on a Hardy box it's root:sasl.

** Summary changed:

- Ownership of /etc/sasl2db precludes direct access by Cyrus IMAP
+ Ownership of /etc/sasl2db is root:root instead of root:sasl

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: sasl2-bin
  
  Ubuntu: 8.04.1
  Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-18ubuntu2
  
  The Cyrus IMAP server runs as the user cyrus. But the /etc/sasl2db does
  not provide sufficient permissions for direct access by the IMAP server.
  saslauthd has no problems as it runs as root.
  
- Fix: chown cyrus.sasl /etc/sasl2db
+ This file needs to be in the sasl group so that uses of the DB can
+ access it.  This will also break Postfix's use of cyrus-sasl2 for SMTP
+ Auth.

** Changed in: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
       Status: New => Confirmed
