Thanks! I thought that since the GID would change from the one used for Sendmail with the ./configure was run, to the new one assigned to Postfix when it is installed, that I would have to rerun the ./configure and then rerun the install program. But, I guess I could just change the GID of Postfix to that of the old Sendmail one if need be. What tweaking, other than the GID's, should I have to do? >BTW: I'm a sendmail user, but I've been on the fence for about 3 years >following Postfix.

I run nothing but SCSI drives on servers -- they last longer, run cooler, and are faster than most IDE drives. Larry >Just my opinion.
