[Bug 512646] Re: Could not install postfix - postinst failed to properly create postfix user

It is, but only in my environment.  I have a postfix user on my domain
(winbind), and that was interfering with the creation of the local user.
When it tried to assign the user to the "postfix" group, it failed,
because it can't modify AD users.  Solution was to disable winbind, add
postfix user, and enable winbind.

I'm not sure if you want to call this a bug in general, my feeling is
no, as this instance was PEBKAC.

Go ahead and resolve, sorry for the spam.

Cheers,

Eric
