I'm building courier-0.52.2 on a Trustix linux system: most thing have gone well, but I noticed that the install has set the file ownership to bin and daemon. Now I know I created a new user (courier) and group (courier), but I don't see where to tell the configuration about these.

You shouldn't need to do anything. If the 'courier' user exists, Courier will use it.

Hmm, odd. That doesn't seem to have happend in this case, for some reason.

Pay close attention to the configure output - it will state the user/group in use and why. It will also cache results, so if you ran configure once, then added the courier user, it won't be picked up as it uses the cached result from the previous build.
