Hi there.
I am a new qmail user running a redhat 5.1 with no shadow password.
As this is my fisrt try at managing mail, i still have troubles understanding how
things are kept.
It looks like i am able to recieve and to send mail with one account (the one i m
using) but i dont understand how to add user.
The doc says, use qmail-pw2u, this shall read /etc/passwd and create a valid
/var/qmail/users/assign file.
If i run qmail-pw2u, nothings happens. No error message, i loose hand on the shell and
it doesnt give it back. I have waited more than 5 minutes (for a /etc/passwd with no
more than 10 user).
Yes, poeple in /home do own their directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 geneaweb geneaweb 1024 mai 17 15:03 geneaweb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 jan 3 19:12 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x 26 melmoth melmoth 3072 jun 16 13:07 melmoth
drwxr-xr-x 3 postgres postgres 1024 mai 26 11:34 postgres
drwxr-xr-x 2 root nobody 1024 aoû 1 1998 samba
drwxr-xr-x 5 www www 1024 jun 3 23:38 www
drwxr-xr-x 2 zonegris zonegris 1024 mai 26 13:06 zonegris
So, i have try to make the assign file by hands, trying to add zonegris.
Here is what i have tryed in assign,
=zonegris:zonegris:503:502:/home/zonegris::
.
But if i try qmail-newu it generate a bad format in assign.
I guess i havent understood what are the 2 fields after the home directory.
Any help appreciated.
Have a nice day.
