Search the following page for 'cron': http://untroubled.org/qmail+patches/ That ought to get you startedIf you didn't install from the above RPM, let me know -- Greg White Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. -- John F.

If none, which cronjob did you write that overwrites it? If none, which web utility did you write/install which overwrites it? Basically, there is no qmail process that will do this---you or someone must be doing it. Andy
Re: assign file being overwritten regularly
i think i just figured it out. look what was in cron.hourly: #!/bin/sh set -e cd /var/qmail/users test -s assign -a -s cdb && \ qmail-pw2u assign && \ qmail-newu Hmm i guess it puts this in by default (or something did)... well, that's gone. i guess that would be a handy file to have in cron.hourly because if you didn't know any better, it'd create users for you automatically.

assign file being overwritten regularly
Does anyone know why the 'assign' file in /etc/qmail/users would continually be overwritten? I edit it and run qmail-newu and everything works great... then, at some point later, assign is re-written and the addresses don't work anymore. for example, i've got: =carl:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan::: which later gets written to =carldan:carldan:600:100:/home/carldan::: hmm... Thanks!
