Description Peter Bieringer 2003-08-29 10:36:11 UTC
Description of problem:
A bug in spec file makes admins unhappy after updating postfix in cases they
changed the default sasl SMTP configuration and don't realize fast enough that
config was overwritten by update.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postfix-1.1.12-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change settings in %{_libdir}/sasl/smtpd.conf
2. Update postfix
3. Check content of %{_libdir}/sasl/smtpd.conf

Actual Results:  Reset to default by overwriting file

Expected Results:  File will be kept

Additional info:
