imap and imaps startup on boot

[monideth]

All,

I tried following the procedure to install Courier IMAP and IMAPS:

http://www.qmailrocks.org/imap_rh.htm

The procedure talks of setting the IMAPDSTART and IMAPDSSLSTART parameter to YES. However, there does not appear to be anything to show how how to start the imap and imaps services during bootup.

On my CentOS 4.0 system when I tried to use chkconfig to enable the imap and imaps service I get the following error:

# /sbin/chkconfig imap on
service imap does not support chkconfig

I eventually resolved this issue by starting up the services using /etc/rc.d/rc.local - I added the following entries:

/usr/local/libexec/imapd.rc start
/usr/local/libexec/imapd-ssl.rc start

Why does chkconfig not like the imap and imaps config files in /etc/init.d/ (/etc/rc.d/init.d)?

Regards,

Mon

All,

The information I thought was missing from the installation guide IS there - however, it is located in chapter "Part 18 - Maintaining your qmail server" - in the "Making sure that all services start on boot" section.

Maybe this information should be placed in courier-imap installation chapter too! Or at least point to this information.
