sounds good.

maybe this could be done generically to show how any (or all) of the other
daemons that need to run as sympa user to be launched via sudo instead of
relying on internal setuid/setgid commands (see my patch for sympa rc in

If the uid/gid is already correct then the script can just skip trying to
run setuid/gid commands altogether ...
