[vchkpw] Why hide ~vpopmail/lib ?

[Ajai Khattri]

Why does the default install of vpopmail remove access to ~vpopmail/lib?

$ ls -l ~vpopmail

total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Feb 3 14:38 bin
drwxr-xr-x 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Feb 3 14:38 doc
drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Feb 4 01:31 domains
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Feb 7 11:40 etc
drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Feb 3 14:38 include
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Feb 3 14:38 lib


Since courier-imap insists on being built as a normal user, it fails to link in the vpopmail library... either you force it to make as root or you "chmod 755 ~vpopmail/lib".
