Subject: [exim] TLS Certificate
Hi all,

I have set up exim and courier_imap on a new fedora core 3 box. I have
imap working with courier over sll. Courier generates a certificate
which it stores as

/usr/lib/courier-imap/share/imapd.pem

Now I thought I would be able to use this same certificate in exim, it
is a concatenated file with both the certificate and the key in it. So
in my exim config I have

# SSL Support options
                                                                                tls_advertise_hosts = *


tls_certificate = /usr/lib/courier-imap/share/imapd.pem

but when I try and send through it I get an error

2004-12-15 10:25:40 TLS error on connection from sprocket.lut.ac.uk
[131.231.80.5] (SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file):
error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied

the certificate file is owned by user root and group exim so would have
thought exim would have the permissions it needed.

Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.
