I agree with this comment, 100%. Dan has good reasons (and is not
alone) in not wanting to use the getpwent stuff. Given that, he's
asking what the advantages are to using a config file over the present
arrangement. The arguments seem to reduce to people saying that they
either can't use RPM to install qmail or they can't use RPM to do
security audits, neither of which sound like very strong arguments to
me.
