I'm pretty sure there are RPMs that handle this situation already. How do they do it? > any chance to improve this with automatic detection uid and gid using > getpwnam function ? I'm not sure if this would be considered an improvement. Parsing /etc/passwd every time a vpopmail binary is invoked could be expensive on some systems. I'm looking at adding a configuration file to vpopmail for the 5.5 branch that will contain all the stuff that usually you have to set at configure time. The UID/GID would be contained here as well, but that's not currently available. Just an OT about the config: It will be compiled so as to be very quick to load. Thoughts anyone? - -- /* Matt Brookings <m...@inter7.com> GnuPG Key FAE0672C Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
