Hi Ken,
I think security on frontend servers (backend too) is more important
that compile time ;) because:
- - if courier needs lvpopmail access just during compile time, doing a
chmod o+r before compile and removing it at the end, it isn't a very
hard work to do;
- - usually, you can compile apps on test machines and port them just
compiled, so I really don't see the needs to remove a tightened
security;
- - why not change courier configure? something like
Checking vpopmail... *** Warning! Found vpopmail 5.x: you have to
temporary change permissions on [vpopmail/lib] as root!!!
Anyway, this is IMHO. ;)
