I have tried to make the users in my /etc/passwd file into qmail users but when I execute qmail-newu I get the following error: Fatal: unable to open users/assign Could someone please advise what the required permissions should be, / or point me to some previous posts which answer this type of problem ? Without being able to get past this problem I will have to go back to using the rpm's which I don't want to do Thanks in advance Roger
