   1 Here's how to set up the qmail groups and the qmail users.

   3 On some systems there are commands that make this easy. Solaris:
   4
   5    # groupadd nofiles
   6    # useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias alias
   7    # useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaild
   8    # useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaill
   9    # useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmailp
  10    # groupadd qmail
  11    # useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailq
  12    # useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailr
  13    # useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmails
  14
  15 BSDI 2.0:
  16
  17    # addgroup nofiles
  18    # adduser -g nofiles -H/var/qmail/alias -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' alias
  19    # adduser -g nofiles -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmaild
  20    # adduser -g nofiles -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmaill
  21    # adduser -g nofiles -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmailp
  22    # addgroup qmail
  23    # adduser -g qmail -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmailq
  24    # adduser -g qmail -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmailr
  25    # adduser -g qmail -H/var/qmail -G,,, -s/dev/null -P'*' qmails
  26
  27 AIX:
  28
  29    # mkgroup -A nofiles
  30    # mkuser pgrp=nofiles home=/var/qmail/alias shell=/bin/true alias
  31    # mkuser pgrp=nofiles home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmaild
  32    # mkuser pgrp=nofiles home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmaill
  33    # mkuser pgrp=nofiles home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmailp
  34    # mkgroup -A qmail
  35    # mkuser pgrp=qmail home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmailq
  36    # mkuser pgrp=qmail home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmailr
  37    # mkuser pgrp=qmail home=/var/qmail shell=/bin/true qmails
  38
  39 On other systems, you will have to edit /etc/group and /etc/passwd
  40 manually. First add two new lines to /etc/group, something like
  41
  42         qmail:*:2107:
  43         nofiles:*:2108:
  44
  45 where 2107 and 2108 are different from the other gids in /etc/group.
  46 Next (using vipw) add six new lines to /etc/passwd, something like
  47
  48         alias:*:7790:2108::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true
  49         qmaild:*:7791:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  50         qmaill:*:7792:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  51         qmailp:*:7793:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  52         qmailq:*:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  53         qmailr:*:7795:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  54         qmails:*:7796:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
  55
  56 where 7790 through 7796 are _new_ uids, 2107 is the qmail gid, and 2108
  57 is the nofiles gid. Make sure you use the nofiles gid for qmaild,
  58 qmaill, qmailp, and alias, and the qmail gid for qmailq, qmailr, and
  59 qmails.
