Bug Description

Binary package hint: tiger

These exclusions are necessary with sendmail:
'Home directory /var/lib/sendmail exists multiple times \(2\) in /etc/passwd.'
'Login ID smmsp appears to be a dormant account.'
'Login ID smmta appears to be a dormant account.'

(Tiger also complains about sendmail being a listening process, but that seems expected.)

The dormant account warnings happen for a variety of daemons. Tiger should probably ignore this for uids < 1000: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2.2
