Hello,
I'm getting ready to do my second make world but reading the UPDATING
file got me a little confused, the files says:
Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020325 entry), a new
user and group are required in order for sendmail to run as a
set-group-ID binary. A 'make installworld' will use the new
user
and group to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue
and will fail if the new user and group do not exist. The
'smmsp'
user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and
src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'.
I'm not sure what to do of here!
Do I have to create a new user? If so what should I name the user?
Do I have to create a new group? If so what whould I name the group?
Any special permissions for these two?
What does it mean to merge the 'smmsp' user and group and how is it
done?
Thanks.
E. J. C.
