I've started having some problems with pop/smtp roaming users and some time ago found a reference to a problem where courier-imap was chowning the ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp file to root:root. That's not exactly happening on my system, but... Is this still a problem? i'm running courier-imap 1.3.0 vpopmail 4.9.8 freebsd 4.2-stable -rw-r--r-- 1 root vchkpw 120 Apr 23 11:25 open-smtp -rw-r--r-- 1 root vchkpw 0 Apr 23 10:14 open-smtp.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root vchkpw 93 Apr 18 16:09 tcp.smtp -rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 2317 May 2 10:40 tcp.smtp.cdb here's the reference i found. <snip> You can force couriertcpd to run as whatever user you choose. man couriertcpd for all the options. But I just edited /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc and added: -user=vpopmail \ -group=vchkpw \ to the the "start" case. It works fine, and my open-smtp file is no longer getting chowned to root.root. <snip> Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services Inc.
