OK, so that would seem to be a fair warning of trouble ahead, when
building for different RPM-based systems. I've seen RPMs of Courier-IMAP
at least floating around on the Internet, so you could probably snag the
SPEC file used to build those, and use it as a template.

Send Sam a patch?

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.
