 problem with su - zimbra
I finally found the problem. The installation adds the lines
zimbra soft nofile 10000
zimbra hard nofile 10000
to /etc/security/limits.conf. This caused my problems. After removing these two lines su - zimbra now works again.
The consequence of this problem was that the setup perl script's runAsZimbra() could not run properly. Perhaps a sudo -u zimbra would be more appropriate (however, this does not do exacty the same thing as su - zimbra).
I know I'm probably trying something difficult: I want to install zimbra into a linux VServer running on a FC4-x86_64 box. Either I will have to add some capabilities to my VServer (which is very restricted now) or tweak a few things. Using a VServer would make Zimbra more affordable for small installations (which is my case).
Thanks again for your help
