Yeah, switching UIDs is not to be taken lightly. It will probably break working installations, and I tend to think that sort of thing drives users away. If the maintainer is intent on this, you'll need to include a post-install script that fixes the uid and gid of everything that the various pieces of courier have created, including files in /etc/courier, /usr/lib/courier, and /var/spool/courier, or whatever layout is used on Debian. And for what it's worth, the rpm packages use "daemon" unless there's a courier user present in the build environment. If you use mock (and you should), that means that "daemon" is the standard user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
