Not exactly what you are asking, but you could run sendmail in a jail(8). That way, you have a passwd file for your mailusers independant of your system passwd file. > I have sendmail on fbsd 4.7 (new build machine and I > dont want to create shell accnts for all my users on > this new machine) If you give them /sbin/nologin as default shell, your users won't have a shell account but will still be able to fetch their (pop3) email. > Whatever help you might give me perhaps I can use > webmin to add the new users...

It's quite easy to make a script using pw(8) to automatically add a lot of users accounts. cheers, Ruben > Thanks so much in adavnce > Keith > > http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
