Good morning all

I was wondering if it is possible to run the imap daemon as a different user...perhaps something like courier or who knows what else. Having it run as root might cause some problems for me. Are there any disadvantages to running it as a different user? Any suggestions on how to do this? I am going to need that user to automatically get afs tokens every so often so that it can access the users maildirs. Any help would be appreciated :)

ISTR it being an option to ./configure, something like:

./configure ‹with-mail-user=courier ‹with-mail-group=courier

I can¹t recall exactly what the option is but hopefully that will point you in the right direction.
