Could probably edit the Makefile and comment the lines that set permissions
on the domains directory. It reads:
@echo "If the recursive chown is taking a long time"
@echo "go ahead and break out of it by pressing control-C"
@echo "this is the last stage of the install and can be skipped"
chown -R vpopmail $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/include
chgrp -R vchkpw $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/include
chown -R vpopmail $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/etc
chgrp -R vchkpw $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/etc
chown -R vpopmail $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/bin
chgrp -R vchkpw $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/bin
chown -R vpopmail $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/doc
chgrp -R vchkpw $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/doc
chown -R vpopmail $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/domains
chgrp -R vchkpw $(DESTDIR)/home/vpopmail/domains
