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? (Seeing that I haven't noticed it in the
several years there's been Debian on this machine, I wonder why even ask!)
