I am in the process of building a new CentOS 7 toaster and trying to port in backup materials from an old CentOS 5 toaster. Through a bit of back and forth, I’ve managed to get most things installed. I have two niggling problems remaining that I need to tackle, and I am suspecting that they are related.
Going through the script recorded files of my installations, I noticed that I get the errors: warning: user vpopmail does not exist - using root warning: group vchkpw does not exist - using root warning: user vpopmail does not exist - using root warning: group vchkpw does not exist - using root I had to go back a couple of times to get some of the packages to install, and I suspect that’s where this crept in. As near as I can tell, everything is now installed. But obviously I think I need to create the vpopmail user and the vchkpw group. When the script finishes up, I get the following: Starting qmail-toaster: svscan. send: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist smtp: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist submission: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist send/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist smtp/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist submission/log: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist id: vpopmail: no such user id: vpopmail: no such user id: vpopmail: no such user id: vpopmail: no such user SysV service clamd: [ FAILED ] SysV service spamd: [ OK ] SysV service network: [ OK ] Systemd service dovecot: [ OK ] Systemd service httpd: [ OK ] Systemd service acpid: [ OK ] Systemd service atd: [ OK ] Systemd service autofs: [ OK ] Systemd service crond: [ OK ] Systemd service ntpd: [ OK ] Systemd service smartd: [ OK ] Systemd service sshd: [ OK ] Systemd service irqbalance: [ OK ] Systemd service named: [ OK ] Systemd service vsftpd: [ OK ] My questions: 1) I know I can just issue useradd vpopmail; but what other details do I need there? Should I set a password? Or not? What groups should it be a member of? I suspect I should force it to take GID 89, but if I’m wrong, let me know that too. 2) I assume I can groupadd vchkpw. What user(s) should go in that group? Should I force it to a particular ID? 3) Would the vpopmail user/vchkpw group errors cause the failures for the qmail services? Will fixing them fix that? Obviously I want to get this right. Any help or advice would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
