Dear all,

I'm currently doing some packaging work for vpopmail, and have reviewed the file properties. I have seen, that all files (except vusaged in 5.5) have the properties set to "-rwx--x--x 1 vpopmail vchkpw". Shouldn't that be more restrictive? E.g. set to 0750 or even owned by root? In an older package of mine (it was 5.4.25) I have set it to 0750 root.root, which did never cause any problems.

Regarding the FHS, I think those binaries should be moved to /usr/sbin. What do you think?

Regarding the documentation I'd recommend to change the examples to install vpopmail into /var/lib/vpopmail, following the FHS 2.3 section 5.1.

Best regards
Johannes
