Description Colin Guthrie 2012-06-09 21:02:19 CEST 
=== Advisory Text ===

It was discovered that the runuser command provided by coreutils package did not ship with appropriate pam.d config files. This prevented the command from running and resulted in knock on effects in other packages as a result. One example is that cyrus-imapd would refuse to run under systemd (the default setup).

The release simply includes these missing pam files.
Comment 1 Colin Guthrie 2012-06-09 22:04:43 CEST 
I've tested the relevant package and ensured that cyrus imap now runs correctly.
