I'm missing something obvious here. I have two Debian Stable boxes both running exim4-daemon-heavy 4.50-8sarge2 & courier-imap-ssl 3.0.8-4sarge5
One machine Exim can connect to the Courier authdaemon socket and the other I get permission denied on the socket. I have not been able to find the difference between the two setups. 2006-12-05 21:56:19 plain_courier authenticator failed for (me) [192.168.1.2] U=moseley: 435 Unable to authenticate at present (set_id=moseley): failed to connect to socket /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket: Permission denied I'm not sure I understand socket permissions as the socket looks like this: ls -l /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 5 22:20 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket Exim is running as user Debian-exim on both machines, as normal. The Courier authdeamon is running as root. I found one post[1] that said they had to add group "daemon" to Debian-exim, but I don't understand why that would make a difference -- I don't see where the socket is group "daemon". Plus, on the machine where it's working Debian-exim is not part of the daemon group. Anyone familiar with domain sockets and/or the Exim+Courier setup to give me advice how to debug this?
