Hi,
I upgraded postfix-2.8.3,1 to postfix-2.8.4,1 yesterday and today I
realized, that postfix is nolonger in my manualy defined group
(maildirs:*:3125:postfix). I use this setting for many years without
problem.
After the change to "use the ports framework to create USERS and
GROUPS" it means broken installation after upgrade.
1] I don't think it is good to touch user's customizations in users
or groups especially removing something silently
2] If something like this change happend, it should be mentioned in
UPDATING
Am I forced to do manual work (adding postfix to my group) after
each upgrade?

Hi Miroslav,
what do you mean with "postfix is nolonger in my manualy defined group"?
I have postfix in group maildirs on my servers:
maildirs:*:3125:postfix
This is my group created many years ago (the server start its life as
FreeBSD 6.0, now it runs 8.2). I am using this group for mail
directories on all of my mailservers.
In the postfix port there was no code to remove the postfix user from
any group or delete the postfix user.
If my speculation is correct and this was not a fresh install, then the
postfix user is now member of the groups *mail, postfix and maildirs*.
Today (after Postfix upgrade) I have this in daily report:
Backup passwd and group files:
elsa.codelab.cz group diffs:
34c34
< maildirs:*:3125:postfix
---
> > maildirs:*:3125:
So I looked in to /etc/group and found that postfix is no longer member
of the group maildirs:
maildirs:*:3125:
I must re-add it to group maildirs, so now I have it right:
> id postfix
uid=125(postfix) gid=125(postfix) groups=125(postfix),6(mail),3125(maildirs)
