Can we please go back to posting the patches for these new packages? |
| 11 |
Personally, I couldn't care less what integer people pick out of a hat. |
| 12 |
I review these to prevent situations like this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
# acct-user/postmaster |
| 15 |
DESCRIPTION="Postmaster user" |
| 16 |
ACCT_USER_ID=14 |
| 17 |
ACCT_USER_HOME=/var/spool/mail |
| 18 |
ACCT_USER_HOME_OWNER=root:mail |
| 19 |
ACCT_USER_HOME_PERMS=03775 |
| 20 |
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( mail ) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# acct-user/mail |
| 23 |
DESCRIPTION="Mail program user" |
| 24 |
ACCT_USER_ID=8 |
| 25 |
ACCT_USER_HOME=/var/spool/mail |
| 26 |
ACCT_USER_HOME_OWNER=root:mail |
| 27 |
ACCT_USER_HOME_PERMS=03775 |
| 28 |
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( mail ) |
| 29 |
|

These two now need to be kept in-sync forever, because otherwise one is |
| 31 |
going to clobber the permissions on the other's home directory. Not |
| 32 |
having to worry about that was an explicit goal of GLEP81. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Given that both of those users are pulled in only by net-mail/mailbase |
| 35 |
at the moment, you probably want to set those permissions in the ebuild, |
| 36 |
and leave those two users' home directories at the default. The |
| 37 |
net-mail/mailbase package certainly doesn't need their home directories |
| 38 |
set to anything in particular. (It doesn't need the user at all, but |
| 39 |
that's probably a larger issue with mailbase.) |
