I have a fresh install of openbsd 2.6 via cdrom and after trying to manually install qmail and finding out that vipw doesn't like what it wants to type in (reports that my passwd file is corrupted) I found that the new ports collection has the qmail files in it. I made qmail which went fine but when I went to make install it got almost all the way through before I got this error message : pkg_create: tar command failed with code 256 error code 1 stop in /usr/ports/mail/qmail I have made and installed joe and pine with no problems so the compilers and etc are working. I have no problems with re-installing the os if needed, this is a test system to replace my aging slackware box. Thanks, Dale
