Hi,

I use precompiled courier for Kubuntu. courier-authdaemon 0.60.1. courier-imap 4.3.0

The owner of /var/run/courier/authdaemon is "daemon:daemon" in my distro. I need to chown it to "daemon:vmail". After every PC restart, something sets it back to "daemon:daemon". Mere restart of courier-authdaemon, courier-imap and courier-imap-ssl does not set it back to "daemon:daemon".

Does any courier configuration define an owner of /var/run/courier/authdaemon directory?

Does courier ever even set the owner of /var/run/courier/authdaemon?

Yes. That's because this socket gets created by authdaemon, every time it starts.

The permission and ownership of all files that get installed are not arbitrary. There is a reason for them to be set up this way. Manually changing the ownership or the permissions will not fix anything. If you need a different configuration, all the packages must be recompiled. The file ownership is determined when courier-authlib gets built. To change it, courier-authlib must be rebuilt and reinstalled.
