Who should own exim4 under debian?
- by raindog308
Installed debian from DVD. And now I see exim4 is running owned by UID 107. There is no user 107 in my /etc/passwd.
Same problem on another system (owned by UID 101), so I suspect this is a debian problem...?
Running squeeze on both.
So under debian, who should own the mail system?
This is what I have installed:
# dpkg -l | grep exim
ii exim4 4.72-6+squeeze2 metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installation
ii exim4-base 4.72-6+squeeze2 support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages
ii exim4-config 4.72-6+squeeze2 configuration for the Exim MTA (v4)
ii exim4-daemon-light 4.72-6+squeeze2 lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon
The binary itself is owned by root:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 758852 May 12 2011 /usr/sbin/exim4
