I have been using Courier for some time now, and really like it. So Sam, good job.
Now I am building RPMs for 0.47 on a fresh install of FC3, updated with apt. Everything seems to be going OK, and I even get RPM files built. The problem I am seeing is that no authentication modules are installed. So question 1: at what version of Courier will the new authentication framework be required? My understanding was that it was the next major release (I guess 0.48?). Was I incorrect? While building I am getting a bunch of errors like: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- strip: unable to copy file '/var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/ libexec/courier/aliascombine' reason: Permission denied . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- The full list of files that have an error is: /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/alia scombine /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/pcpd /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/alia sexp /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/subm it /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/cour ierd /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/cour ierpop3d /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/sqwe bmaild /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/make datprog /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/cour ierpop3login /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/imap login /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/dsn/courierdsn /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/local/courierlocal /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/local/courierdeliver /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/esmtp/courieresmtpd /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/esmtp/authend /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/esmtp/addcr /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/esmtp/authstart /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/esmtp/courieresmtp /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/fax/courierfax /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/modu les/uucp/courieruucp /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/alia screate /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/couriertcpd /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/courierfilter /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/userdbpw /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/authenumerate /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/showmodules /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/courierlogger /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/courier /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/sbin/showconfig /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/preline /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/mailbot /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildiracl /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/courier-config /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/testmxlookup /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/dotforward /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriertls /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/imapd /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/lockmail /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/reformail /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/makemime /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/reformime /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/deliverquota /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildirkw /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildirmake /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/usr/lib/courier/bin/mimegpg /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/var/www/cgi-bin/webmail /var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.3-buildroot/var/www/cgi-bin/webadmin I checked the permissions of /var/tmp, and it is owned by root:root, with 777 permissions on the directory. I have not monkeyed with it at all. I have turned off the SELinux stuff because I'm not yet ready to delve into it. And yes, I am trying to build the RPMs as a non-root user. I guess the crazy thing is that some of these files (like courierpop3d) end up being installed by the RPM. They even seem to work, except for allowing authentication, in that ports 110 and 995 are open and telnetting to port 110 gives: "+OK Hello there." When installed, the file is in /usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier and is owned by courier:courier (the user does exist) with perms of 555. So question 2 is: are my permissions whacked out somehow? Thanks for any help or ideas for me. I've been looking at this for about a week now, but haven't really had any epiphanies. Any assistance will certainly be appreciated.
