Does maradns require that the user ID be specified as a UID? Why doesn't it support specifying the ID as a name (which it would then turn into a UID via getpwnam)? Then you wouldn't have to modify the configuration file. If it doesn't support names now, could that be added? It might be a fairly simple patch, a few lines at most. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
