Postfix installation guide fails to mention 'adduser postfix sasl'

[qertoip]

Postfix installation guide available at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/postfix.html
doesn't mention adding 'postfix' user to the 'sasl' group, which is necessary.

Please add the following command in the end of "Configuring SASL" section:
sudo adduser postfix sasl

Beside this, the guide worked perfectly well for me. Thank you!

This is confirmed according to me. will upload proper change momentarily. Phil, you can decide the fate.

Ok this should be the diff file. I used tortoisesvn to do this so lets hope it comes out right.

Thanks for the patch Rob, it looks good and validates properly. Nice work!

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Postfix to be able to properly review the content of the patch myself. Could you send a copy of it to the ubuntu-docs mailing list with the word '[Patch]' at the start of the subject, please?

Can someone working on the server guide review this please?

[Adam Sommer (asommer)]

The latest Server Guide recommends using Dovecot SASL, which doesn't require the sasl group.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-docs - 8.03.2 in Ubuntu hardy.
