Ok...I think we might be on to something. I went into LinuxConf and went
into virtual mail domains. I deleted the users that were there and added a
new one(all lower case). I then checked my passwd file and the new user was
not there. I do have a file named shadow (no extension) and the new user
doesnt exist in there either.
So here is where I am at...
Does the existence of a shadow file mean that the system is using shadow
passwords?
What is the correct procedure for entering user id's and passwords for
virtual domains?
Is there some other package I should be using for hosting a whole bunch of
virtual domains?
Thanks in advance...
