I used it for a while (I even paid for a license), but it kept
segfaulting.  This was version 1.03.  When I wrote to the support, they
said they knew and were coming out with a new version soon.  They never
got back to me when I had troubles downloading it from Tucows, though :(
It couldn't do the calendering in stand alone moue, it needed a WinNT
with proxy software installed, and IIRC, it used POP to get the mail.
There's a project on Source Forge.  Look it up:  www.sourceforge.net.

I'm not sure what they should be, but this looks like a permissions
problem.  Try adding global execute permissions to '/home/userdir'.
This might or might not be a security hole.  I don't see anything
obvious.  

You do understand that by chroot-ing a user, you need to put
all the commands and libraries into the chroot-ed directory.  (At least
the commands that user will use).

Did you add '/bin/usr_login.sh' to /etc/shells?

no need to shut down the interfaces.  Move the file and try again.
