Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Hi, update-passwd has a list of specialusers and specialgroups including
qmail uids and gid formerly used by the qmail-src package. In Dec. 2000
I made unofficial qmail binary packages available for potato, using the
same uids and gid as the qmail-src package, but one additional group as
prescribed by the upstream documentation. This is group ``nofiles'',
gid 71.
Users of my unofficial packages need to take special care on each
upgrade of base-passwd to have the nofiles group not removed. If
possible, please apply the attached patch to avoid this extra effort on
dist-upgrade from woody to sarge, even though it's only for users of
unofficial packages.
Thanks, Gerrit.
