cyrus-imapd spawning multiple processes

[Jeff Laine]

Hello, list.

I'm trying to set up cyrus-imapd on my host running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.

The troublemaker is the cyrus. It starts and opens it's sockets, but whenever
I try to establish a connection to pop3 or imap ports (i.e. via telnet or cyradm) 
cyrus goes nuts and spawns child processes in endless manner, trashing logs with this:

>tail /var/log/debug.log

Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[49269]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49269 exited, status 1
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[49270]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49270 exited, status 1
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[49271]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49271 exited, status 1
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[49272]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49272 exited, status 1
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[49281]: about to exec /usr/local/cyrus/bin/pop3d
Jun  2 23:27:35 free master[43639]: process 49281 exited, status 1
...

...until I stop the master process.


I tried both cyrus-imapd23 and 22 with default configurations but it
gives the same problem every time.

I have similar configuration on 6.4-RELEASE without such troubles.


Any advices would be much appreciated.
