./configure --prefix=/usr, among other things. There is no packaging here, compiled and installed from source.

If you don't want to help me because I installed everything in /usr instead of /usr/lib/courier, that's perfectly fine. Indeed, its fine if you don't want to help me because you hate my sig ;)

What I need to figure out is what directory esmtp authentication needs to access that no other authentication needs to access. You can tell me that /usr/lib/courier/libexec/esmtp/auth needs to have such and such permissions and I will have no problem making the changes to /usr/libexec/esmtp/auth without even telling you that's where it is.

I guess its off to the source for me. Any help from anybody with this will be well appreciated and of course poorly rewarded.

Thanks for the suggestions. Care to offer more? ;)

The default configuration script does not install anything in /usr/libexec.

By default, everything is installed in /usr/lib/courier, and the default location for $libexecdir is /usr/lib/courier/libexec.

Therefore, you must be using some packaging other than the default one. Which means that I really have no idea how your system is set up in the first place.
