Subject:[courier-users] RE: Making progress now but still baffled.. (imapd + vpopmail 'No such file or directory')Actions...

So I try two things.

1. chmod a+rw tmp (and test again)

Try 'chmod 777 tmp'

A (very) cursory glance suggests that you are trying to create

something in tmp, but cannot. You cannot create stuff in a directory unless you can search it ('else how would you know if a file already existed? And if you didn't know, that would let you discover if a file existed).

drwxrwxrwx 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 24 11:26 tmp

No change. Still doesn't work.

Which leads immediately to the question of the user id of the process

trying to run the IMAP server code, and whether it is vpopmail...

It most certainly _should_ be. I've set that in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd thus:

TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw"

And "ps auxw" after telneting in produces:

vpopmail 13487 0.0 0.3 1264 604 ? S 19:35 0:00 /usr/.../couriertcpd...
