Did you change the uid of the courier user before you ran the upgrade by any chance? Or did you add a user "courier" before making these rpms? I once decided to "standardize" the uid/gid of the courier user on all my servers and consequently made a HUGE mess when I upgraded because the old set of files were uid/gid=510 and the upgrade was uid/gid=220 (or some such). Take a look at the /usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modules/esmtp/courieresmtpd file (which is what the /usr/lib/courier/sbin/courieresmtpd actually points to). It should be owned by 'courier' (or 'daemon' if you didn't create a courier user). If it says something like '504' (i.e. a number instead of a name) then your permissions are messed up. Either undo the changes you made before you built the rpms and build them again, or blow the whole thing away and THEN install the new rpms. I ended up uninstalling and deleting the old installation (rpm -e ... ; rm -f /usr/lib/courier /var/spool/courier /etc/courier) then installing the new rpms. Then everything was happy again. Hope that helps. (Actually I hope you come up with a better solution than my "blow it away and start again" one. There probably is one out there. But it worked. :-) Jeff Jansen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
