LOL. Well, i think if Arne implements this in the next update-script, the backup would run automatically and then with the right permissions.

The question is if we should implement an extra check for people who don't upgrade their IPFire.
For this case its nearly obsolete because if they dont update, they will never get an addon wich needs that feature ;-)

Hi,

This solution looks a lot better to me.

Do we have to restore permissions when a backup is restored, too?

Because other services that run as other users than nobody should be
able to send mails, this patch changes the permissions

from
nobody.root

to
nobody.mail

When another user wants to send mails via DMA, the user has to be put into the group "mail".

FIXES: #12403

Arne: Please take care of update script, so these changes affect normal update procedure.
