Description Andreas Simon 2002-06-18 09:50:53 UTC
Affected package:   
 net-mail/courier-imap-1.4.5-r2   
Probable older versions too.   
   
What happens:   
courier-imap installs 'maildirmake' into   
/usr/sbin.   
   
Why is this bad?   
maildirmake is a tool with which users can 
create maildirs and maildir subfolders (without 
a maildir, courier-imap does not work). 
There is just no reason to place 
this tool into /usr/sbin which is usually not 
in the PATH of a user. 
 
IMHO better solution: 
Place maildirmake into /usr/bin as Mandrake 
and Redhat do. 
 
Cheers,  
Andreas
