This is a change made in the last version. The user sogo was before a normal user with a home and a shell. Now it is a service account, so now home and no shell. Because of this you can not longer change to be the sogo user with su. You have to call all sogo related commands with sudo -u sogo <WhatEverCommandToUse> instead. Obviously the documentation isn't up to date in all places. You could open a bug report for this at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs Kind regards, Christian Mack -- Christian Mack Gruppe Informationsdienste Rechenzentrum Universität Konstanz -- [email protected] https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
