Hi,

I've been running into a permissions problem for a lot of time now.

The point is this: A root owned process in a virtual server cannot
overwrite/create a non-root owned file.

A typical example is the /etc/mail databases owned by admin. I cannot
rebuild them using

        makemap hash database < database

when I'm root, but I can if I use

        su admin -c "makemap hash database < database"

Any hints?

Dave.
