upgrading to baselayout-1.8.5.5 will update /etc/groups changing group smmsp from id 407 to id 209; it should also change /etc/passwd to sync the smmsp user to belong to the correct group id, otherwise sendmail won't send mail anymore bye, Alessandro
Why didnt you guys tell me you already had a gid and uid for the damn thing ?
Adding this to pkg_postinst() could fix the problem: NG=`grep smmsp /etc/.cfg????_group | awk -F : '{ print $3 }'` OG=`grep smmsp /etc/passwd | awk -F : '{ print $4 }'` sed -e "\csmmspc s/$OG/$NG/" since it would replace the old smmsp group id in /etc/passwd with the new one taken from the just updated /etc/group file HTH Bye, Alessandro
