Use mergemaster for this: mergemaster -p (this is in /usr/src/UPDATING (CURRENT) for 20040308) to create required user account 'proxy'. mergemaster -p (this is in /usr/src/UPDATING (STABLE) for 20020404) (iirc this was for sendmail) apart from that, 'man adduser' is your friend :-) I always found it quite interesting(*) to read all UPDATING-Entries starting from the last time I updated my systems - apart from reading (some) mailings to stable- and current-mailinglist - and to always expect the unexpected whilst using current... :-) Regards, Holger Kipp (*) sometimes even enlightening, but due to enhanced stupidity (I'm over 30 now) this does not always work <sigh>.Received on Sun Aug 29 2004 - 15:52:35 UTC
