[Linux-users] Postfix user change

[Kevin Falcone]

If you watch any of the linux boxes reboot, you will notice that there
is a whole litany of complaints from postfix at the end of the boot
cycle.

Feb 23 23:15:41 the-wall postfix-script: warning: not owned by
postfix: /var/spool/postfix/saved

The postfix user is 822 in the NIS map, but 50 on the linux boxes.
Matt and I remember Mark saying something about this, but it looks
like it never got fixed.  I've changed /etc/passwd on darkside to give
postfix UID 822 and I've changed the ownership of /var/spool/postfix
to be root owned.  Darkside now reboots with a lot less warnings.

I know that there is a file somewhere that should be updated, but I
can't remember where.
