According to Dan's page on mini-qmail
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/mini.html, installing mini-qmail doesn't require
qmail entries in /etc/passwd or /etc/group. So one should conceptually
just have to unpack qmail-1.03.tar.gz, create /var/qmail and run make
setup check
However, on doing this this is the error message received
./load auto-gid substdio.a error.a str.a fs.a
( ./auto-uid auto_uida `head -1 conf-users` \
&&./auto-uid auto_uidd `head -2 conf-users | tail -1` \
&&./auto-uid auto_uidl `head -3 conf-users | tail -1` \
&&./auto-uid auto_uido `head -4 conf-users | tail -1` \

&&./auto-gid auto_gidn `head -2 conf-groups | tail -1` \
) > auto_uids.c.tmp && mv auto_uids.c.tmp auto_uids.c
fatal: unable to find user alias
So, does the installation of mini-qmail require creating of user-ids for
installation and then one can delete them subsequently
