You would have won that bet too: <g> alias:x:70:65534:qmail alias:/var/qmail/alias:/bin/sh qmaild:x:71:65534:qmail daemon:/var/qmail:/bin/sh Funny thing, I don't ever remember installing qmail; otoh this box probably goes back through a series of upgrades and drive copying to bo or hamm... Can I dump those two passwd entries, and delete the lastlog so it'll start over, or shouldn't I worry about it?
