This also happens to me, but if I run |
| 2 |
/usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd.rc |
| 3 |
manually courier does start. |

We've looked at this a bunch over the last day or so and have no idea what's going on. |

Yes because I rebooted the machine. Normally, Courier should start |
| 18 |
because it's activated using rc-update but it simply doesn't. |
| 19 |
Perhaps I should mention that courier-authlib runs without problems. |

www ~ # /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start |

As you can see, none of these two logfiles contains anything regarding |
| 34 |
Courier. |

| 45 |
This is the cmdline which is run by the initscript. I added a "set -x" |
| 46 |
on top of /usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd.rc trying to debug this |
| 47 |
script. That way I got this command. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
This is exactly why I'm so stuck about this. The initscript should run |
| 50 |
this line and apparently it does but the imapd doesn't start, at least |
| 51 |
when invoked by the initscript. In a regular shell I can run it without |
| 52 |
problems as I stated above. |
