Hi! I believe this bug has not been fixed completely, or something
recently regressed it.
This code in courier-mta's init.d script does not work properly if
authdaemon starts before courier-mta, as the dir will already exist:
if [ ! -d ${run_dir} ]; then
mkdir -p ${run_dir}
chown daemon:daemon ${run_dir}
fi
Also /var/run/courier/authdaemon will be inaccessible to the daemon user
even given this code, so authdaemon cannot be used by the MTA.
This came up in an Ubuntu bug report here:
http://launchpad.net/bugs/731505
Ubuntu always uses tmpfs for /var/run by default.
