Well it was originally "-r-s--x--x 1 root courier" but I'd never seen an 's' there before so I had no idea what it meant and tried chmod 555 to fix it, but nothing changed. Anyway after I wiped out everything I could find from 0.49 I was able to reinstall 0.47 successfully. I suspect that the reason 0.49 was failing is that /usr/local/var is owned by mysql with 700 permissions. When 0.49's authodaemon starts it makes a spool/authdaemon directory under that for the socket but then when the courier user programs try to look up the socket it doesn't have permission. 0.47 didn't use this directory for anything afaik. Sound right? I'm not really anxious to try the ugprade again though.
