Dear Viktor, sorry, i got your mail quite delayed...

It solves my problem, but i cannot see a technical reason why they cannot have the same shared directories. > Since Linux systems seem to lack a /usr/libexec, you can use: > > daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix > shlib_directory = /usr/lib/postfix/lib > > This is something the distribution maintainers will have to figure > out.

Since, as you said, some distributions lack /usr/libexec, wouldn't it be a better idea to leave it up to the package/distribution maintainers to separate shared objects from shared executables?
