I am in the process of learning scripts so please be patient.
When you said use numbers did you mean gid and uid numbers instead of
id -u qmaild
id -g qmaild, so it will look something like this QMAILDUID=100
NOFILESGID=1001
than I can take -u and -g from this line
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
correct?
Thank you
Denis
