OK, so that would seem to be a fair warning of trouble ahead, when building for different RPM-based systems.

I can build the RPMs as non-root, even though chkconfig is in /sbin, which isn't in my users' path. pts/3 juha@vim2:~$ which chkconfig /usr/bin/which: no chkconfig in (/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/juha/bin) pts/3 juha@vim2:~$ ls /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/chkconfig Please trim unnecessary quotes and don't top-post. -- Juha Saarinen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
