[ ok ] BTW, adding both postfix and sendmail as mta services is broken since I'm installing postfix, not sendmail. One needs to manually add a postfix user before emerging postfix for the installation to complete properly.
1. missing postfix user. A: don't know what you did, but gentoo supplied a postfix user with baselayout package and if you are emerge postfix on gentoo, we are assumed "postfix" user existed on your system. 2. Not adding service 'sendmail'... see bug #8423 or just `rm /etc/init.d/sendmail` 3. the summary says "poor grammar" Point me to it and I'll be happy to fix. Please note that I am not a native English speaker (I am working on it, not an excuse)
ok, two points here, username and grammar. #1, i suggest a quick check for the username since some systems may not have that username for whatever reason. this is an old system and re-emerging baselayout didn't have a diff for a missing postfix user. #2, i suggest the following for uniformity with other messages * "mta" service is already provided by "postfix" ...
grammar has been fixed in baselayout cvs
fixed in postfix-2.2_beta20050119. Will backport to the current stable if nothing goes wrong with the check.
