3.4.2. Create the cyrus user

On most systems there is no cyrus user and mailgroup by default. Check for a free

UID, usually daemons are running with UIDs less that 100. As example I am using

UID 96 which is what SuSE has in the default

/etc/passwd

.

groupadd mail

useradd  u 96  d /usr/cyrus  g mail cyrus

passwd cyrus
