! Yes and no. That's the right uid but it should display as "alias",
! not "400". Sounds like either /etc/password or getpw* is broken.

I said to type ``ls -dln''. -d means show directory (and not its
contents), -l means long listing, and -n means show numeric user
and group. If it showed ``alias'' instead of ``400'' I'd say ls
was broken. :-)

D'oh. Missed the "n". I forget: did he post ls output that showed
"alias"?

How about running qmail-pw2u under trace/truss/strace/par?

Not one that I remembered.

Yeah, that's something I'd suggest if include/exclude files aren't the
obvious culprits.

I think they are... going to send another email just to make sure,
but adding "alias" to include seems like it fixed the problem.

Could this be it?  It's owned by alias.qmail, maybe it should be
alias.nofiles?  I'm guessing because the files in alias/ are owned by
alias.nofiles.
