Hello

---problem

I can't get maildrop to find the users in my userdb. However, if I run "userdb -show" I see them. Here is an example of what *should* work, but does not:

# userdb -show kurt uid=89 mail=/var/spool/mail/vhosts/ricolausa.com/kurt home=/var/spool/mail/vhosts/ricolausa.com/kurt gid=89

[so far, so good]

# cat /etc/grub.conf | maildrop -d kurt Invalid user specified.

[but we've proven above that this user *is* valid!]

---some debugging

maildrop *does* work when I use -d with a posix user:

# cat /etc/grub.conf | maildrop -d kyoder [mail is delivered properly]

I looked at the source in maildrop/main.C in run() after "found = find_in_userdb(&maildrop, deliverymode);". It appears that the posix check should *not* have been reached at all, since I do have a userdb.dat. Since it *did* see the posix account, I must assume that the userdb was not found. I'm not sure how further to pinpoint the problem though.

Any ideas where to look next?

I am running courier-0.45.6, installed from rpmbuild on RH Enterprise 3.
