It's as easy as:
configure
make
make install-strip
Two things will happen:
1) new binaries get copied into ~vpopmail/bin
2) the entire ~vpopmail tree will get recursively chowned/chgrp'd to
vpopmail/vchkpw
To be safe, you can back up your ~vpopmail/bin directory.
If you are using roaming users. You might want to make the following
change.
mkdir ~vpopmail/etc
mv /etc/tcp.* ~vpopmail/etc
Then run configure, make, make install-strip
edit your smtp startup line to use -x/home/vpopmai/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
(or where everthe home dir is) instead of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
The major change from 3.4 to 4.X is having the configure script
look in ~vpopmail/etc for tcp.smtp then /etc. This is so you
can run your pop server as vpopmail/vchkpw uid/gid instead of root.
