Hi All, I am installing a mail server on my FreeBSD 2.2.1 box, and have done the following: 1. edit the /etc/group file with pico and adding the following qmail:*:2107: nofiles:*:2108: 2. then I used vipw to edit the passwd. file and added the following to that: alias:*:7790:2108::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true qmaild:*:7791:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmaill:*:7792:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailp:*:7793:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailq:*:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailr:*:7795:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmails:*:7796:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true Then I get this error: "/etc/pw.010045" 26 lines, 1546 characters vipw: rebuilding the database... pwd_mkdb: corrupted entry pwd_mkdb: at line #20 pwd_mkdb: /etc/pw.010045: Inappropriate file type or format re-edit the password file? [y]: The line 20 that is refered to would be the line above that was added that read alias, and is the beginning of where the changes started. What am I doing wrong? Please respond via e-mail as I am NOT currently on the list. Thanks In advance, Bernard Courtney
