Hi Folks,

I'm (still) trying to make the full Courier distribution go on my Solaris 9
system. I'm now at the stage where make check passes ok (except for the
Solaris shared-folders problem) and I have installed ok, and done what looks
to me to be a complete initial configuration.

I've started all the daemons that are indicated in the installation guide,
and generally things look tantalizingly close to working, except that
something at the Maildir-access level seems to be broken, across the board:

The following basic test suggested in the install guide:

echo "To: thornel" | /usr/local/bin/sendmail

Returns with no errors, but doesn't seem to result in any email anywhere. In
the logs I get this:

Apr  6 12:51:29 giant courierlocal: [ID 702911 mail.info]
id=0003BE5A.40721B31.00006647,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<thorn
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: maildir.open: ./Maildir: Permission denied:
Permission denied

There *is* a Maildir in thornel's home directory: I created it using
maildirmake, as thornel, and ls says:

giant ~ > ls -ld Maildir
drwx------   5 thornel  devel        512 Apr  6 11:37 Maildir

Likewise, when I try to connect to the imap server, I get permission denied
errors:

Apr  6 12:42:11 giant imapd: [ID 702911 mail.info] Connection,
ip=[::ffff:203.55.171.104]
Apr  6 12:42:11 giant imapd: [ID 702911 mail.info] LOGIN: DEBUG:

Apr  6 12:42:11 giant imapd: [ID 702911 mail.info] chdir Maildir: Permission
denied

The systems details again:
It's a Sparc machine, running Solaris 9.
I'm using Courier 0.45.2
I'm using Ldap Authentication only.

Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong, or at least where I can look?
