are all starting up as daemon. As a result, I am getting permission
denied errors when ever I try to do anything. I have a user/group
courier, and build the rpms as the courier user, all that stuff.

Hi Sam, thanks for responding so quickly (well, at all really)!
I did install the authlib packages that went with courier-0.49 otherwise
the rpms wouldnt' build. I was able to build the rpms, and install
courier all without error. It is just the running part post install - ie
all ownerships are incorrect hence the "permission denied" errors.
However, a new problem, I have just downloaded the latest 0.50 with the
authlibs that go with it, and am now unable to build the rpms:
RPM build errors:
File not found by glob:
/var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.2-buildroot/usr/local/bin/*
I found a bugzilla mailing list entry between you and Paul Howarth, but
the solution was unclear:
# Figure out how deep down bindir is
touch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/rootfile
root=..
while [ ! -r $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/${root}/rootfile ] ; do
root=${root}/..
done
# Install symlink from %{_bindir} to %{_datadir}
%{__ln_s} ${root}/%{_datadir}/some.file $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/some.file
# Clean up temporary files in buildroot
%{__rm} -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/rootfile
I assume this goes into courier.spec, but does it matter where?
Thanks, Gillian
