I also run Courier on FC4 for a lab at work, and it runs well there, too. I find that I have been continuing to build from sources there still since (a) got used to it with Solaris and (b) central RPMs don't seem to keep up on latest versions well -- or I just don't know where to look. ;-)

Are you installing from source, or just building the RPMs from source?

I have been installing from source. I see the potential benefit from doing RPM installs. I guess I'd feel a stronger urge to do it if I were having to manage several servers, too. Definitely food for thought.

It's only a benefit if using Linux unless there is rpm for Solaris and FreeBSD
that I am not aware of. How's Courier in pkgadd :)

RPM doesn't do you much good if it's not used by the OS/distro itself IMHO, if rpm were ported to Solaris which I believe it has been, what good does it do unless you install RPMS of all the Reqs and BuildReqs via RPM also?

I typically run --prefix on my courier configures and install these under one
directory like:

/usr/local/courier

That way, I just tar up the whole /usr/local/courier and replicate across the
nodes in a cluster.

No need for RPM in my case.

Yes, until you clobber your etc folder by untarring over top of it... But I'm sure you're a good sysadmin that would never do that of course :-)
