I've got an odd problem.  I haven't run into this on any of my other
Courier installs.


# /usr/lib/courier/sbin/courierfilter start
/var/spool/courier/tmp/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied

# ll /var/spool/courier/

drwxr-x---  2 mailuser mailuser 4096 Nov 29 11:02 allfilters

prw-rw----  1 daemon daemon 0 Dec 14 11:30 trigger


All of the courier processes should be running as either root or
mailuser.  So why am I getting a "Permission denied" here?

Any suggestions on how to track this down?

Thanks,
Bowie
