What a great outlook from a maintainer of an open source project. I have read nothing else in this thread, but this is wonderful. -- Katherine

Setuid programs
Hello guix, I would like to propose an extension to how setuid programs are currently handled. The last time I checked it could only do setuid and setgid root. Some services, such as postfix need a more fine grained setuid setup. I would propose a record type, such as: (setuid (program setuid-program) (setuid setuid-setuid) (setgid setuid-setgid) (user setuid-user) (group setuid-group)) So that there is more fine grained control. I would also propose to move this to the services framework, so that services could extend this field on demand. Wdyt?
