kutulu> I recently saw commits to -CURRENT to add standard users for kutulu> sendmail (or other MTAs) to run as in place of root. These users do not make sendmail run as a non-root user. If you double check the commit message, you'll see that they only affect certain operations. kutulu> What do I need to change to my existing -STABLE setup to kutulu> incorporate sendmail running as non-root? Take a look at the sendmail documentation for the RunAsUser option. kutulu> And what users/groups should I add to keep my system in line with kutulu> the new standard users? (Of course, if this change is going to be kutulu> MFC'd then I'll just wait for that.) It will be MFC'ed in the next few days.
