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.

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.
