I have postfix in group maildirs on my servers: maildirs:*:3125:postfix This is my group created many years ago (the server start its life as FreeBSD 6.0, now it runs 8.2).

Today (after Postfix upgrade) I have this in daily report: Backup passwd and group files: elsa.codelab.cz group diffs: 34c34 < maildirs:*:3125:postfix --- > > maildirs:*:3125: So I looked in to /etc/group and found that postfix is no longer member of the group maildirs: maildirs:*:3125: I must re-add it to group maildirs, so now I have it right: > id postfix uid=125(postfix) gid=125(postfix) groups=125(postfix),6(mail),3125(maildirs) Miroslav Lachman
