The difference being that it requires the addition of a user for each mail account whereas something like vpopmail does not. I've googled but can't see anything about this so for my information, I generally use /nonexistent as the shell in situations like this, and add /nonexistent to /etc/shells. Is there a difference between using /passwd and something like /nonexistent? PWR. >On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Peter Risdon wrote: > > > >>Jeffrey Allan D.
