Looks like running vpasswd -v is still trying to add a user, rather than just
displaying the version and exiting. Not only that, but it core dumps, and
leaves the vpasswd with 0 bytes:
##########################

This is true for 4.9.3 and 4.9.3a in my experience. Copying the
vpasswd.bak to vpasswd, chown vpopmail.vchkpw vpasswd, and running
vmkpasswd fixed everything. Isn't file locking supposed to be better in
this development release? That's the reason I'm running it. And why did
it leave .vpasswd.lock and vpasswd.bak? Is that what's supposed to
happen?
Thanks,
Bill Shupp
