Hi,

I'm running courier imapd and pop3d version 1.6.1 with virtual mailusers (via 
userdb) in an chroot jail. This is working fine.

For security reasons I would like to run the daemons as a nonroot user.

But when executing
'sudo -u courier /etc/init.d/pop3d start'
it fails with
----
bind: Permission denied
ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable
----

This is clearly because only root is allowed to bind a port below 1024.

So courier should first bind to port 110 or 143 and after that switch user to 
'courier' (as e.g. mysqld does).

Does anyone know, if there is a patch for that problem available?
Or any further suggestions?


thanks in advance

Peter
