There seems to be a problem with starting up the IMAP proxy server imapproxyd: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapproxyd start says Starting imapproxyd. but doesn't return the # prompt ... # ps -jawx | grep imap root 21490 21426 21490 64248 1 S+ 3 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapproxyd start root 21496 21490 21490 64218 1 S+ 3 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/in.imapproxyd I would expect the /bin/sh line to disappear and the # prompt to come back. If (from another terminal window) I do # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapproxyd stop is says Stopping imapproxyd. # (returns the prompt) If the first window, it says: Terminated /usr/local/etc/rc.d/imapproxyd: WARNING: failed to start imapproxyd ?? 1. what is wrong here and how to correct it ? 2. also, although I do have a user nobody and a group nobody in FreeBSD 8 and the config file /usr/local/etc/imapproxyd.conf specifies (default setting) proc_username nobody proc_groupname nobody I wonder why the processes (ps -jawx) show root as the process owner ?
