thanks for your feedback, i'm happy to hear logcheck is running fine. :) although this bug may need to be reassigned to the package, which created that strange group ownership of /var/log/mail. exim4 usually logs to /var/log/exim4 on all of standard installs i see around me. so what mail subsystem of yours is logging to aboves dir? do you have some custom syslog (or syslog-ng) rules that direct messages there? maybe we can grasp which packet added the smmsp user. what does belows command on your box show: egrep smmsp -r /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
