For the tenth time, host A has to write two (or more) different sets of .dat files, and the location to which makeuserdb writes those files is fixed at compile time, so it is not possible to write more than one set of .dat files on the same host without maintaining multiple builds of courier or changing symlinks every time. > If you wanted (at any point) to maintain different userdb's on different > hosts, while sharing the courier installation, you'd want to make the > userdb directory and the userdb.dat file symlinks to > /etc/local-courier/userdb (or something similar), so that each machine > could maintain its own.
