Thanks very much for your submission! > > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31473 Doug, Now that this has been committed, Section 15.15 of the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook needs to be updated. I chose to add user 'courier' and group 'courier' as UID and GID 62. There's a problem with that section of the Handbook. Since the qmail users are not sorted by UID 'msql' and 'qmails' ended up with the same UID which is probaly a security hole for either one or both of those ports. I've never submitted a PR for something other than ports so I'm not sure where to find the source to the Porter's Handbook. I'd be happy to roll and submit the patch myself. In any case courier does require a hardcoded UID/GID. Doesn't have to be 62, but that one's as good as any. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/x1974.html -- Yarema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
