I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.  I'm using
RedHat 6.1 with MD5 and Shadow passwords on my systems and am using both an
RPM install of qmail-1.03 with a few patches on one system and the source
version on another system.  When I attempt to run:

/usr/bin/qmail/qmail-pw2u </etc/passwd >/etc/qmail/users/assign

I get the error:
qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user

I get this error on both systems, regardless of the type of install.  Aside
from the differences of the installation of Qmail, the systems are
identical.

Here is the some of the output of my passwd/user files:
(from /etc/passwd)
qmaild:x:80:80::/var/qmail:/bin/bash
qmaill:x:85:80::/var/qmail:/bin/bash
qmailp:x:86:80::/var/qmail:/bin/bash
alias:x:81:80::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/bash
qmailq:x:82:81::/var/qmail:/bin/bash
qmailr:x:83:81::/var/qmail:/bin/bash
qmails:x:84:81::/var/qmail:/bin/bash


(from /etc/shadow)
qmaild:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
qmaill:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
qmailp:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
alias:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
qmailq:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
qmailr:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::
qmails:!!:10910:0:99999:7:::

(from /etc/group)
nofiles:x:80:
qmail:x:81:


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I've looked through the
archive and have found several instances of this same problem, but no clear
answers, or perhaps none that I've understood.

Thanks,

-Chris
