Hi dear gentoo-users:

Is posible change the user in the courier-imap-1.7.3-r1.ebuild to "mail" instead of "vmail"? how to?

In the page of the courier-imap show the following:
Code:

# --with-mailuser=user - all except two Courier daemons run as a non-privileged user. This option specifies the userid that Courier will install and run as.

# --with-mailgroup=group - like --with-mailuser, but specifies the group ID.

# --with-mailuid=userid, --with-mailgid=groupid - these options specify the numerical user and group IDs. Do not use these options unless configure fails and tells you to use them.

How is it applied in the ebuild?

( exim it does not work if it change for vmail user )
thx.

After reading some threads, it looks like you have to edit the ebuild yourself. So use your favorite text editor and add your flags to /usr/portage/net-mail/courier-imap/courier-imap-1.7.3-r1.ebuild. Look for
Code:
        LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" econf \
                --disable-root-check \
                --bindir=/usr/sbin \
                --mandir=/usr/share/man \
                --sysconfdir=/etc/courier-imap \
                --libexecdir=/usr/lib/courier-imap \
                --localstatedir=/var/lib/courier-imap \
                --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs \
                --with-authdaemonvar=/var/lib/courier-imap/authdaemon \
                --cache-file=${cachefile} \
                ${myconf}
