I've just done a full rebuild of my system (emerge -avt --deep emptytree world) and having issues with courier-authlib. [I--] [ ] net-libs/courier-authlib-0.58 (0) [I--] [ ] net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.6-r2 I'm using courier-authlib with ldap (I don't know if ldap has anything to do with it). When I start courier-authlib using the init script the console says it has started but there are no authdaemond processes running. In the meantime, I found I can start courier-imap with the script below #!/bin/bash #courier-authlib script isn't working so... /usr/bin/env /usr/sbin/courierlogger -pid=/var/run/authdaemon.pid -start /usr/lib/courier/courier-authlib/authdaemond sleep 1 /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start sleep 2 /etc/init.d/courier-imapd restart Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: silver ~ # /etc/init.d/courier-authlib start * Starting courier-authlib: authdaemond ...

By the way, in /var/log/mail.log, I get this entry when using the init script to start courier-authlib Apr 23 13:37:08 silver 0: exec: No such file or directory
I have similar problems using system. They changed the way authdaemond is invoked to a shell script /usr/sbin/authdaemon and there are two problems with it. First, in the shell script, it says -$1 and if there is no $1 I get an error. After fixing this, system will not start the daemon, but if I use the same commands in the unit by hand it does work. Very strange.
