Hello All,

The Postfix PMDA uses qshape(1) to gather postfix queue stats, by reading files the various postfix queue directories.

The problem is that all of the postfix queues are only readable by the postfix user (or root).

Since the postfix pmda (by default) is run under the user pcp, it cannot gather the necessary stats.

I suspect that the postfix pmda worked correctly when pcp ran as root.

Is there anyway we can make the postfix (or any) pmda run as root ?

Chandana
