Hello!

The following patches provide a mean to specify a user and group for a
setuid program, and uses that to fix a setgid permission issue in the
context of the opensmtpd service.

Christopher, you should be able to leverage this new facility to
configure the uid/gid of the sendmail program to that of the smtpq user,
like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(operating-system)
  [...]
  (setuid-programs (cons (list (file-append sendmail "/usr/sbin/sendmail") "smtpq")
                           %setuid-programs))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The smtpq user is created as part of the OpenSMTPD service definition.

Thank you,

 programs.

Fixes <http://issues.guix.info/41485>.

* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-setuid-programs): Update doc.  Allow a
program entry to be a list that may include a user and a group.
[make-setuid-program] New USER and GROUP keyword parameters.  Move the error
handling inside the MAKE-SETUID-PROGRAM helper procedure.
* gnu/services.scm (setuid-program-service-type): Update doc.

 A default set of setuid programs is defined by the
