hello all,
i installed postfix on solaris 10 x86, and it's okay (modulo a minimal 
trouble, see http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/view_bug_page.php?f_id=1943).

Now, i'm installing it on sparc machine, again solaris 10, and during 
installation, i got this strane messages:
...
ERROR: attribute verification of </opt/csw/sbin/postdrop> failed
     group name <postdrop> not found in group table(s)
...
ERROR: attribute verification of </opt/csw/sbin/postqueue> failed
     group name <postdrop> not found in group table(s)
...

At the beginning of installation, pkg-get said:
The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
   /etc <attribute change only>
   /etc/init.d <attribute change only>
* /opt/csw/var/spool <attribute change only>

* - conflict with a file which does not belong to any package.

Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] n


PS: postdrop is well created in /etc/group

mombasa-root% /etc/init.d/cswpostfix check
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: 
/opt/csw/var/spool/postfix/public
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: 
/opt/csw/var/spool/postfix/maildrop
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: 
/opt/csw/sbin/postqueue
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: 
/opt/csw/sbin/postdrop


And this happen on a nis client client. Doing the same install install 
on a non-nis machine, everything go well. I verified that group id 
aren'nt used in NIS table.

Anybody else using postfix from blastwave?
