=46irst, this needs test, but I think that the real problem is=20
using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier-authdaemond.sh with courier mailer.
I think courier mailer users must maintain courier_authdaemond_enable to=20
NO and embed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier-authdaemond.sh functonality in=20
its own rc script.
This have more sense with the closed concept of the courier mailer.
Also thinking in support ${courier_authdaemond_user:=3Droot}=20
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier-authdaemond.sh
