* --with-cachedir=dir, --with-cacheowner=userid - SqWebMail uses a
cache of currently active logins. SqWebMail runs for each and
every HTTP request, and after starting, it needs to locate the
account's maildir. Because hitting the authentication module can
be expensive (think MySQL/LDAP query for every HTTP request!)
SqWebMail caches the login information, in order to avoid having
your authentication server brought down to its knees. By default,
the directory /var/cache/sqwebmail or /var/run/sqwebmail will be
used, owned by the bin user. These options can be used to specify
a different location for the sqwebmail login cache directory.
You MUST add a periodic cron job to run the cleancache.pl script
in order to delete stale cache records from the cache directory.
make install will display the message containing the text of the
cron job.
to fix:
# mkdir /var/run/sqwebmail
# chown bin.bin /var/run/sqwebmail
at least that is what i had to do on my 5.0pre5.
