Hi,

I want to ask how to setup courier-imap service to run as non-root user on RedHat box. I tried to change /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/pop3d.rc (also ssl and imap stuff) script to start /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd with additional params -user -group then I saw that all imap processes are running under my user, except the /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.mysql they was running under root. When I tried to log in thru the imap or po3 I saw in maillog message Nov 1 11:23:13 klifton imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.0.121] Nov 1 11:23:13 klifton imapd: authdaemon: connect: Permission denied

So it was not working. Can you tell what I am doing wrong? I really don't want to run courier-imap as a root user from certain reasons.

Regards Peter
