Hi Danny,
Thanks for the reply. I believe I did. To your knowledge, should the
following work:
city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/passwd
smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent
city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/group
smmsp:*:25:
Or will the /nonexistent home directory and /nonexistent bogus shell entry
cause problems?
