First, downgrading to important since this does not apply to users of the default Debian init system. Second, /etc/default/opendkim is sourced before that line in the init script and the current version of the defaults file has GROUP defined, so it does. Please check the contents of /etc/default/opendkim. The last part of it should look like: USER=opendkim GROUP=opendkim PIDFILE=$RUNDIR/$NAME.pid EXTRAAFTER= If it's not there, when the package was upgraded your system (either manually or automatically, depending on how it is configured), kept the old version. If you add those at the bottom of the file and restart, it should work. If it is there, then there's a bug that needs investigating. I don't have any Testing/Unstable systems using the init script, so I may need help with testing. Scott K
