Hello all,
I have recently installed postfix on my Powerbook. The package itself works like a charm. During the installation, from the package info window (finkCommander), I read that I should I create an alias to receive local messages. The command from the info page is:
sudo niutil -createprop . /aliases/root members youremail


I would like to receive the messages locally, so I typed my local user. This is the command I run and the result:
sudo niutil -createprop . /aliases/root members andrea
niutil: can't modify members in directory /aliases/root: No such directory



I haven't understood much of what "niutil" is, but i would like to understand better and maybe understand what I'm doing wrong.


Any help is appreciated.

niutil is the command-line interface to your NetInfo database. I'd say that you didn't do anything wrong, but that the documentation should look like this instead:


sudo niutil -create . /aliases/root
sudo niutil -createprop . /aliases/root members <your username>

Check out the man page on niutil for more information.
