[vchkpw] vpopmail uid not found
Okay last night I tried to install the Linux Qmail Toast found at http://www.shupp.org/toaster/. I've installed this successfully in the past, however due to the time of night etc... I'm sure I fat fingered something. Now I have some interesting problems. When I type # ps -efl | grep service errors | grep -v grep I get 0 S root 26722 26624 0 69 0- 319 152ecc Mar06 ? 00:00:00 readproctitle service errors: ...mail: No such user?id: vpopmail: So I thought it must be a permissions problem or I didn't create the user correctly. However looking in /etc/passwd and /etc/group I see vpopmail there clearly. # ps-ef | grep tcpserver gets me vpopmail 25091 12424 0 22:42 ?00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H -v -u89 -g89 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup pcl01.prod.phx1.secureserver.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir So I think that means that vpopmail has to be there and able to run programmers. (oh I've also su - into vpopmail etc..) Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong here? -- Carl Parrish [EMAIL PROTECTED] PCL Enterprises

Hi Carl, Not sure if you meant that you saw vpopmail in /etc/group, but I believe that group should be vchkpw. user vpopmail group vchkpw Check that out. rick

You're correct the group is vckpw. -- Carl Parrish [EMAIL PROTECTED] PCL Enterprises
