You don't have to. All normal users can send and receive mail by
default. qmail-users is only necessary when you want to pre-empt
normal delivery to a user.

It's waiting for input. It reads the password file on standard
input. If you really want to run it, do:
qmail-pw2u </etc/passwd >/var/qmail/users/assign
