Folks,
After upgrading my vanilla popa3d (/usr/ports/mail/popa3d) install to
popa3d-0.5 via ports, syslog started reporting..
Jan 12 21:30:00 <daemon.crit> hal9000 popa3d[205]: chroot: No such file or directory
..and POP clients could no talk to the server.
After digging in various places I eventually turned up this in
/usr/ports/mail/popa3d/work/popa3d-0.5/INSTALL:
----8<----
5. Create an empty directory for popa3d to chroot to (unless your
system provides a directory intended for this purpose already):
# mkdir -m 755 /var/empty
----8<----
After doing so, the clients could again fetch thir mail, however I note
that the daemon no longer logs its activity as it previously did (at
mail.notice), presumably due to the chroot.
