During install a new user vmail gets created. I have structured user ids. So I want to modify the id. I have found 3 files with this userid. However I am not sure if there is something else I need to modify (some ispcp configuration file)...

Hi,

as far as i know a usermod --uid XX vmail should do all this. I think, ispCP doesn't handle anything of the user vmail with it's userid, only with it's username.

I know how to change the uid. If it is only used using the username I can change it without getting into trouble...

ispCP-files? If so, tell us which files you found...

check the permissions of /var/mail/virtual

you have to do chown vmail:mail /var/mail/virtual after changing the uid...

The 3 files I found are:
/var/www/ispcp/engine/messager/ispcp-arpl-msgr
/var/www/ispcp/engine/messager/ispcp-db-keys.pl
/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-arpl-msgr

So it is safe to change the uid of this user?

the db-keys file you definitely should not change. (btw, there should be the same file in /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-db-keys.pl).

The log file is also not a candidate.

Maybe the ispcp-arpl-msgr - this is used for the automatic mail responder...

I do not want to change the files, I want to change the UID of the user vmail...

Can this be done?

P.S.: The listed 3 files are owned by this user and no others are...

should be possible to change the uid.

Run the script set-engine-permissions (setup folder) then the first two should be corrected. the log file you may have t change separately...

/J

I can correct the permissions myself, but I will try to use the predefined script for that...

Will let you know if it works!
