Hello Roger,
qmail-pw2u wants the contents of /etc/passwd to be passed/piped to it. If
you wanted to create an assignment file from the /etc/passwd, you might try
something like
cat /etc/passwd | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u > /var/qmail/users/assign
If you do that though, be sure you delete people who won't need mail. Or
you could make your own assign file, but you would have to figure that out
yourself :-) ALSO REMEMBER TO RUN /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu AFTER YOU HAVE
AN ASSIGN FILE. This has caused me a little trouble in the past :-D
