I'm trying to set up replication between two servers and I've hit a

sample config file for a simple system like mine I would really be
grateful to see it.
Thanks,
The error I'm getting is:

You can add to conf.d/10-mail.conf
first_valid_uid = 1000
last_valid_uid = 2000
You have nobody uid 65534 so make last_valid_uid less than you have in
your /etc/passwd. Same thing with the first_valid_uid just pick first
uid after users start in your /etc/passwd
I don't know why the user 'nobody' shows up here? nobody is in the
/etc/passwd file but he has no group.
I really appreciate the response to my post as it is the only one I have
gotten but that doesn't really solve the problem, in fact it generates
even more errors:

Do you know if there is a guide somewhere on how to set up replication?
I would really like to get this to work.
Thanks,
