This program compiled well in the amd64 platform and it maked succesfully the tests. It created the /chroot/xmail/var/MailRoot/ folder. /chroot/xmail/var/MailRoot/bin/XMail exixts. The variables in /etc/conf.d/xmail are all OK (fot what regards the path) The problem is here: start-stop-daemon --start -c xmail -r ${CHROOT} \ --startas ${MAIL_EXEC} --pidfile=${MAIL_PID} -- \ ${MAIL_CMD_LINE} From /etc/conf.d/xmail CHROOT="/chroot/xmail" MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot export CHROOT MAIL_ROOT # variables for simplicity sake MAIL_NAME=XMail MAIL_EXEC=/var/MailRoot/bin/$MAIL_NAME MAIL_PID=/var/run/$MAIL_NAME.pid I'm not sure, but I think this is not related to the "amd64", or yes?

Definitely not amd654 specific, I had the same problem on x86 when I tried last; the whole thing is pretty *ahem* non-standard.
so I'm changing description accordingly ;)
the problem seems to be in the chroot (/chroot/xmail) and in the change of user (xmail). I did a initscript without these 2 and it runs. (as root and without chroot :/ ) Is there a way to get it working as planned by portage?
(In reply to comment #3) > the problem seems to be in the chroot (/chroot/xmail) and in the change of user > (xmail). Maybe we found the problem, so two questions: 1/ Do you have net-firewall/iptables installed? 2/ Is CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT enabled (either as a module or compiled into kernel) on your box?
Created attachment 62262 [details, diff] Added RDEPEND on net-firewall/iptables and checks for needed kernel config options
I commited new ebuild with the fix (without revision bump), please wait for an hour or so, sync portage tree, reemerge xmail then try again. Jacob, thanks for the patch.
