Thanks for the quick response but I don't have that dir on my system.  I do
have this which is where the symlinks in rc.d point:

blacklamb# pwd
/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap
blacklamb# ll
total 67

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   1460 Jun 29 15:12 pop3d.rc

Unfortunately running a './imapd.rc start' in this dir as root makes the
same error I describe above.

Thanks,

Drew
