But you need a list to test it. Ok. I can ask for it.

The hostname stuff works fine on debian 1.1.X. Seems that rex contains an incompatible version. Will fix it on next release. jimr> jimr>I thought it might get rid of "add following to /etc/aliases from the jimr>"create announce" it does, because it adds the aliases itself. That is what the standard script spits out. Could have a note appear though to not take it for earnest. There is another issue with Smartlist which is the automatic generation of the list user. I do that with a sed script on /etc/passwd which is not nice. Can anybody point me to the right direction how to use adduser to add a user and a group without it asking any questions? And could some kind soul finally get me on the debian-developers mailing list?
