Betreff: [Exim] exim RPM build trouble
I am trying to put together a Redhat exim RPM to submit to Fedora. I am
running into one problem. Make buildconfig refuses to continue unless
EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP are already installed on the system.

This is unfortunate, since it means we must add the passwd entries at build
time, rather than at install time. I believe this is not really standard
behaviour for a source RPM build.

I wonder, can I just remove the checks from buildconfig.c to allow the build
to proceed anyway?  Then patch config.h to add
#define EXIM_UID              93
#define EXIM_GID              93


Any other suggestion?
