# useradd -K UID_MAX=499 -K CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no testtt configuration error - unknown item 'CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL' (notify administrator) This happens with an uptodate fedora 7 : shadow-utils-4.0.18.1-15.fc7 I think the original version 4.0.18.1-13.fc7 did not have this behavior. Is there a new way not to create the mail spool from command line? Regards, Herbert
