The configure script still expects you to be root, so the patch needs to adjust for that as well. Having a flag like --disable-root-check to disable the configuration root check, and then using --prefix to set where to install to might work. This patch seems only to address a single person's need is kind of what I'm saying, and so, it can't be added to the vpopmail project. I think the option is a good idea and just needs to be implemented for the project. - -- /* Matt Brookings <m...@inter7.com> GnuPG Key D9414F70 Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
