I can do that, but I would rather have things running as "mailuser" since that is the way the rest of my servers are configured. Is there any way to build courier-authlib so that it uses mailuser? I'm not really familiar with the makefile and specfile syntax, but if you point me in the right direction, I can figure it out. > > # service courier start > > Starting Courier mail > > server:/var/spool/courier/tmp/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied > > Another thing to check is the permissions on the /var and /var/spool > directories. Courierfilter will start if I give 777 permissions to /var/spool/courier/tmp, but I don't know if there are any other problems that would come up. I could add the courier user to the mailuser group. I just don't want to create more confusing permissions problems down the road. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
