Does anyone know if vpopmail *really* has to be configured as root? I tried disabling the "are-we-running-as-root" check in configure.in and it seems to install fine. I compared the files in ${D}/ and my live filesystem. Permissions and ownerships seem to be consistent.
If this works, isn't it better to patch configure.in rather than set RESTRICT? Unless, of course, someone knows why vpopmail requires one to be root... The patch if someone wants to try it is (better apply it by hand) '/printf.*vpopmail<s/>:vpopmail (:(:' \ vdelivermail.c vpopbull.c vqmaillocal.c \ || die "failed to remove vpopmail advertisement" + sed -i \ + 's/if test `$idcommand` != "0"/if false/' \ + configure.in \ + || die "Cannot disable root config" gnuconfig_update autoconf || die "reconfigure failed." -- () Georgi Georgiev () Artificial intelligence has the same () () [EMAIL PROTECTED] () relation to intelligence as artificial () () +81(90)6266-1163 () flowers have to flowers. rel -- David () () ------------------- () Parnas () -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
