>Description:
I was having difficulty getting the courierpop, courierpops, courierimap,
and courierimaps scripts in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/ to start their services.
authdaemond would start properly, but the others would report that they
started, put a pidfile in /var/run/, and not actually start anything. In
maillog this would show up as, for example, "pop3d: exec: no such file or
directory".
It turned out that the couriertcpd package installs couriertcpd to
/usr/pkg/bin. The scripts pop3d, pop3d-ssl, imapd, and imapd-ssl in
/usr/pkg/sbin, which are called by the rc.d scripts, expect couriertcpd to
also be in /usr/pkg/sbin. When it is not found there, the scripts fail
silently, and leave dangling pidfiles in /var/run.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install couriertcpd-0.53.2nb1 and courier-imap-4.1.1nb2.
Add "authdaemond=YES", "courierpop=YES" to /etc/rc.conf
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/authdaemond start
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/courierpop start
>Fix:
ln -s /usr/pkg/bin/couriertcpd /usr/pkg/sbin/couriertcpd
