System: NetBSD fs 4.99.3 NetBSD 4.99.3 (sou) #0: Sun Oct 1 00:23:50 JST 2006 jam@fs:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/sou i386

>Description:
	/etc/postfix/prng_exch (for default postfix) or
	/usr/pkg/etc/postfix/prng_exch (for pkg postfix)
	are modified by libexec/postfix/tlsmgr when postfix
	receives a new mail.

	Therefore, I cannot keep / or /usr partition as a read-only file
	system.  Error messages are following.

 Oct  3 10:00:00 fs postfix/tlsmgr[700]: fatal: tls_prng_exch_open: cannot open PRNG exchange file /usr/pkg/etc/postfix/prng_exch: Read-only file system
 Oct  3 10:00:01 fs postfix/master[815]: warning: process /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/tlsmgr pid 700 exit status 1
 Oct  3 10:00:01 fs postfix/master[815]: warning: /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/tlsmgr: bad command startup -- throttling

	Files modified by daemon should be placed under /var shouldn't they?
	It is possible that people working for NetBSD just didn't notice this.
	So, I'm sending this pr to let ppl know this.

	Please move prng_exch file to /var/run/postfix or somewhere.  Thanks.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Please make /etc or /usr/pkg/etc as part of read-only filesystem and
	receive some mails.
>Fix:
	Please move prng_exch file to /var/run/postfix or somewhere.
        Thanks.
