For better organisation I did that with the original message-subject
"exec-plugin permission bug (?)" but here it is again.. :)

The parte where he should change the group..  ;)  The group stays "root"
even with the colon..

Okay.. Now it's getting really strange (yes! even stranger than before..
 ;)  )

He complains about not finding the script:

  Sep  3 10:42:41 localhost collectd[4385]: exec plugin: exec failed: \
    No such file or directory

But:

  ~# grep 'postfix' /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
       Exec rrduser:adm "/usr/local/bin/rrdscripts/rrd-postfix.sh"

and:

  ~# ls -lah /usr/local/bin/rrdscripts/rrd-postfix.sh
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 rrduser adm 2,1K 2007-08-27 18:27 \
    /usr/local/bin/rrdscripts/rrd-postfix.sh

...all done using copy/paste - so I didn't correct anything unnoticed...

When removing the "adm" from the config-file, so it only sais: 'Exec
rrduser: "/foo/bar"' the script is found, but doesn't work (as explained
before..)

And the one syslog-message above is not "all relevant messages" but "the
only message".. ;)

Cheers,
