I did it this way: The postinst script does a 'addgroup --system jwhois', and manually calles suidregister (or uses chown/chmod) to set the binary setgid jwhois and the diretory writeable for that group. In the postrm, the group is removed when using 'dpkg --purge', but preserved with 'dpkg --remove'. Is this correct behaviour? -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
