Re: [Courier-imap] imapaccess what about a empty file?

ok i setup and no access file and got this:

imapd[5022]: /etc/courier/imapaccess.dat: No such file or directory

Let's look at the imapd.rc startup script in the (either) courier package:

       if test ! -f "${IMAPACCESSFILE}.dat"
       then
               if test -e "${IMAPACCESSFILE}"
               then
                       $sbindir/makeimapaccess
               else
                       echo "IMAPACCESSFILE is missing." >&2
                       exit 1
               fi
       fi



Now, let's take a look at the Makefile.am in the courier-imap package:

install-exec-hook:
       chmod 444 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/quotawarnmsg.example
       mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/shared
       chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/shared
       mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/shared.tmp
       chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/shared.tmp
       mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/imapaccess
       chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/imapaccess



And in the "courier" package, it's in courier/Makefile.am:

install-data-hook:
       -$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/aliases
       -$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/smtpaccess
       -$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/imapaccess

To summarize:

If you have no access file, you should not specify the -access parameter to couriertcpd. If there's no imapaccessfile.dat, but there is imapaccess, it should automatically run makeimapaccess and create it. My default package simply requires an imapaccess file or directory (remember that it can be either), even an empty one. The remaining script always passes the -access parameter to couriertcpd. "make install" in the courier-imap package creates an empty imapaccess directory. 1) make install from the either the vanilla courier or courier-imap creates an empty imapaccess directory. 2) the imapd startup script: A) automatically creates imapaccess.dat if it does not exist, and B) always specifies the -access parameter to couriertcpd. If you would like to use a custom startup script that does not use imapaccess at all, you can do that but you need to do the correct thing: if there is no imapaccess.dat, then, of course, do not pass the -access parameter to couriertcpd.
