https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367848 Adam Williamson <awilliam@xxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags|needinfo? | --- Comment #6 from Adam Williamson <awilliam@xxxxxxxxxx> --- mail is a system user. /var/spool/mail has been kinda the traditional location for mail drops on Linux since, well, ever, so far as I remember. it's in the FHS. mail is actually one of the *very* few system users considered so core that it's right in the copy of /etc/passwd shipped with the 'setup' package: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/passwd mail:*:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin I just checked and that same line is present in the setup package from FC2: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/2/x86_64/os/SRPMS/setup-2.5.33-1.src.rpm (I'd check FC1, but large chunks of FC1 seem to be missing). So, uh, you're probably not going to have a lot of luck arguing that that should be changed, is what I'm saying. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
