This is my |pw2userdb output:
|mail uid=8|gid=8|home=/var/mail|shell=/bin/sh|systempw=*|gecos=mail
8= mail
And this is my userdb file:
mail uid=8|gid=8|home=/var/mail|shell=/bin/sh|systempw=*|gecos=mail
8= mail
jo...@example.com
systempw=oJextmk2n671I|uid=8|mail=/home/mail/Maildir-john-example|home=/home/mail|gid=8
I cant figure out what is wrong with this.. Anyone who does know the
answer???...
