Description Jonathan Rogers 2004-05-27 04:03:54 UTC 
The configuration file "/usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd.rc" should either start with "#! /bin/bash" or be switched to Bourne shell syntax.

could you please point out which bashism we've used?
Comment 2 Jonathan Rogers 2004-05-27 11:26:01 UTC 
At least one Bashism is the "source" keyword, which is equivalent of the Bourne shell "." (dot). This is what I get if I try to start courier-imapd and /bin/sh is a link to /bin/ash:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Starting courier-imapd...
/usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd.rc: 12: source: not found
/usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd.rc: 13: source: not found
unlimited
Invalid port: /usr/sbin/imaplogin
ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable                         [ !! ]
Comment 3 Jonathan Rogers 2004-05-27 11:35:40 UTC 
Now that I look closer, I see that every file in /usr/lib/courier-imap is executed by /bin/sh and contains the "source" keyword.

fixed in cvs for 3.0.5
