Courier directories dissappeared

[BLaCKie_MoRGaN]

Hello i am running ISPConfig in Ubuntu 6.10 Server from Perfect Setup guide.

i had a problem with sasl authentication which was resolved from a post noting that in ubuntu needed the OPTIONS ="-c -m.... " parameter

now i have a weird problem

Every time i reboot the system the directories of courier ( /var/run/courier and /var/run/courier/authdaemon ) keep dissapearing and i have to mkdir them again and start the services manually. Also bind seems to need manual starting!

Does anyone have the same problem??

ANy solutions?

[till]

Please check the courier start / stop scripts if one of these is deleting the directories.

I forgot to mention that i am newbie at linux works.

Checked the courier (-imap, imap-ssl, -pop, -pop-ssl) files in the /etc/init.d/ directory and there is no rm command!

This is the courier-pop file
Would the line in bold letters help me bypass the problem?

Should be

mkdir -p /var/run/courier/

instead. That should work.
