Hi all, I'm trying to run a Courier-IMAP server. __1.__ My configuration parameters : ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap \ --disable-root-check \ --without-authpam \ --without-authldap \ --without-authmysql \ --without-authpgsql \ --without-authshadow \ --without-authuserdb \ --without-authcustom \ --without-authvchkpw \ --without-authdaemon \ --with-authpwd /* want to use /etc/passwd for auth */ __2.__ Then I write: make, make install, make install-configure. Everything goes fine. No errors. __3.__ start, ps -xawu root 24974 0.0 0.2 1460 528 ? S 12:53 0:00 /usr/local/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=0 -stderrlogger= root 24977 0.0 0.1 1368 448 ?
