DF 2.13.0.809
- In the man page, change references to "three config files" to "two config
files" now that virtualtable is gone.
- Sending an email using "mail" as root throws this error, which appears to
be coming from dma:
send-mail: cannot drop root privileges: unknown error:

It cannot drop root privileges because you have no "mail" user. So you can either add one, or change #define DMA_ROOT_USER "mail" in libexec/dma/dma.h to use "mailnull", which is an user we have for sendmail.
Swildner seemed to think we should change drop group to mailnull as well. We have both mail and mailnull groups.

However, if we change the group to mailnull, we must change group ownership of /etc/dma/dma.conf to mailnull as well.

it appears that I'm registered in Redmine from having previously reported
bugs, but don't know my password. I tried to use the Lost Password link,
but when I get to the step of entering a new password, I get these messages:Last name can't be blank
Login is invalidAnyway, thanks, the patch worked! In the man page, there is another
reference to "three" files that needs to be changed.Tim
And here is a the new correct patch.
