Follow the instructions in courier-authlib's and courier's INSTALL files,
and these options will be set correctly for you.
Many thanks Sam for getting back to me on this. I'd never have considered
configuring courier-authlib until I had a build of courier itself.
I now have the authlib configured, the daemon running, and it tests ok using
the tests in the authlib install file.
I've done a clean, configure and build against this new config, and I'm
still getting the same error. From reading the authlib docs regarding userid
and groupid, I can see that my configuration of a courier user and courier
group are going to meet these conditions. I'm running the output of
configure to a textfile and catching the stdout errors on my terminal, and
the only thing that looks out of place in the configure process is:
Cannot obtain information for groupid 1000: No such file or directory
This appears twice. I'm
specifying --with-mailuser=courier --with-mailgroup=courier as part of the
configure, and the group for courier is defined in /etc/group as
courier:x:1000:courier
I've opened up the password on the group, I've added the courier build user
to the group, and I've verified the group settings on the user courier's
home directory files. Still no joy.
Do you have any idea what it might be looking for when it's looking for
"information for groupid" ?
Thanks,
