Perhaps I over did it with having the patch remove smmsp:*:90:90:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent I think the rest of the patch makes good sense and fixes a number of inconsistencies in the documentation. Perhaps if the right people are proded it might get applied. :) Dirk, what about ifmail using UID 70, the same as pgsql? Wouldn't it make more sense for news/ifmail to use 65 which seems to be available? -- Yarema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
