I've checked the "postfix" package again and it _IS_ correct. I've
a different guess as this is only one way your could end up with
"default_privs = root" in main.cf: Either you manually configured it or
you bootstrapped incorrectly. Please do the following and compare it
with my values:
| $ openpkg rpm --eval '%{l_susr},%{l_musr},%{l_rusr},%{l_nusr}'
| root,openpkg-dev,openpkg-dev-r,openpkg-dev-n
You see, l_nusr is by default "<user>-n" from the --user=<user>
parameter you specified when bootstrapping your instance. My suspicion
is that you seem to have specified the parameters during bootstrapping
in a strange way? Hope you are not using --nusr=root or --nuid=0? This
would be already a major security problem, btw.
