I'm a little confused. Does this apply for users and groups were the actual numbers don't matter ? In Dovecot the extra user is just used as a seperate identity to partition login, authentication and active users securely. Or do should all users and groups which are going to be added by a port by listed in the Porters Handbook. The handbook itself seems to suggest the former. > Kris Thanks for the tip by the way. -- Dominic <dom at cus.org.uk> <dominic.marks at npl.co.uk>
