[courier-users] --disable-root-check fix
Hi,
the --disable-root-check option for configure is broken since 0.44.1. The
reason is a typo in the configure script.
here is also a patch for it:

[courier-users] --disable-root-check ?
Hello,
I am using courier-imap-1.1 from ports on OpenBSD 2.9 with qmail and
vpopmail.
I would like to install courier-imap-1.4.4
When I try to do so I get the following error upon running gmake.
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/var/imap/courier-imap-1.4.4/authlib'
gcc -I/var/vpopmail/include -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -o authvchkpw
modauthvchkpw.o libauthmod.a libauth.a ../md5/libmd5.a
../sha1/libsha1.a -L/var/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail -lm
ld: -lvpopmail: no match
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [authvchkpw] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/imap/courier-imap-1.4.4/authlib'
gmake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Ok so just for the heck of it I decided to see if it would compile as root,
which it does. Now, because I read the documentation I know that is not the
way it was mean to be installed, but I cannot fifure out why yet.
When I look at the Makefile for the (working) ports version I see the
following:
# $OpenBSD: Makefile,v 1.4 2000/10/01 13:27:13 avsm Exp $
snip
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --disable-root-check --datadir=${PREFIX}/sbin
/snip
Ok my question is:
Should I ./configure --disable-root-check
and then gmake as root? etc. If not why not? I know I am not supposed to
gmake as root but I am not sure why. I have been looking around for a
written explanation of when --disable-root-check is needed/adviseable but so
far I haven't located anything.
If anyone knows what I should doin order to install and use
courier-imap-1.4.4 on my system please advise.
Thank you.

The problem you are having in installation is somewhat curable, though not something I've had to deal with in a while. As I'm sure Sam will emphasize, executing *any* action, espeecially a complex one like building courier, has the potential to destroying your system. As a metter of course, one shouldonly resort to root login and su when they are appropriate and needed, and at no other time. David Stowell ___ Have big pipes?

RE: [courier-users] --disable-root-check ?
The user you are trying to compile as does not have permission to access the
vpopmail library. root, of course, does.
If you fix your permissions, you should be able to compile non-root.
You really don't want things to be compiled as root if you can avoid it,
since any setguid programs owned by root can trash your entire system if
they feel like it (or if a hacker makes them). So its just a (very sensible)
security precaution.
