Description Thomas Beutin 2009-08-06 16:13:37 UTC

when installing mail-filter/milter-regex an user milter is created with the wrong home directory /dev/null instead of /var/milter, but mail-filter/spamass-milter needs /var/milter for storing his stuff

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
entry in /etc/passwd:
milter:x:104:1002:added by portage for milter-regex:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin

Expected Results:  
entry in /etc/passwd:
milter:x:106:10507:added by portage for spamass-milter:/var/milter:/sbin/nologin

Actually /var/milter is a poor choice from FHS pov.

The new home directory has been set to /var/lib/milter and following packages belonging to mail-filter category have been changed to reflect this change:
  dk-milter
  milter-regex
  spamass-milter
  sid-milter
  dkim-milter

Closed as FIXED.
