I'm guessing because the files in alias/ are owned by ! alias.nofiles. It doesn't matter. qmail-pw2u doesn't care about the gid of the home directory. It only cares that the uids match. Okay, next step. Check to see if you have /var/qmail/users/include or /var/qmail/users/exclude files. If you have an ``include'', make sure that ``alias'' is listed. If you have an ``exclude'', make sure that ``alias'' is not listed. If you have neither of those files, then I'm going to have to look deeper... ---Chris K. -- Chris, the Young One |_ If you can't afford a backup system, you can't Auckland, New Zealand |_ afford to have important data on your computer. http://cloud9.hedgee.com/ |_ ---Tracy R.

qmail-pw2u error
I'm getting this error: qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user I'm calling it like this: #!/bin/sh /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u /var/qmail/users/assign && qmail-newu In /etc/passwd I have this: alias:x:400:401::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? qmail won't deliver mail and I get this in my logfile: delivery 34: deferral: Trouble_reading_users/cdb_in_qmail-lspawn./ I've never encountered this error before but, mind you, I've never used qmail-pw2u before.
