Hi all, I was trying to install qmail ( http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html ), everything went fine until I had to run the following script: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id −u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id −g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head −1 /var/qmail/control/me` if [ −z "$QMAILDUID" −o −z "$NOFILESGID" −o −z "$MAXSMTPD" −o −z "$LOCAL" ]; then echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail−smtpd/run exit 1 fi if [ ! −f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!" echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay" exit 1 fi exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit −m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver −v −R −l "$LOCAL" −x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb −c "$MAXSMTPD" \ −u "$QMAILDUID" −g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail −smtpd 2>&1 Now the errors I'm getting are: Try `id --help' for more information.

When I cut and paste the above script into 'od -c', I see that the '-' characters are not simple ASCII characters but a 3-byte sequence "\342\210\222" in octal. That explains what you are seeing. How on Earth they got that way is another question altogether. -- Bob Nichols Yes, "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
