Hi Raghu, Okay... I did as you said. Here is the output (unless otherwise stated, the output of the WORKING box and BROKEN box is the same): sh-2.05# cd users sh-2.05# ls -al total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 May 25 18:45 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 25 18:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4961 May 25 18:45 assign -rw------- 1 root root 0 May 25 18:45 assign.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4937 Feb 27 23:48 cdb sh-2.05# pwd /var/qmail/users A look at assign (on the broken box) showed all my attempts to create domains using vadddomain: +test34.com-:test34.com:64020:64020:/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test34.com:- :: +test36.com-:test36.com:64020:64020:/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test36.com:- :: +test37.com-:test37.com:64020:64020:/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test37.com:- :: +test38.com-:test38.com:64020:64020:/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test38.com:- :: +test39.com-:test39.com:64020:64020:/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test39.com:- :: Keep in mind that while THESE entries are there, in /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test39.com/ , there is only one file called .qmail-default, and nothing else. I also cannot vadduser to add accounts to test39.com . sh-2.05# ls -al /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/test39.com total 12 drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 18:45 . drwx------ 41 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 18:45 .. -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 58 May 25 18:45 .qmail-default >From my previous post, you can see that /root or / seems to be the directory that vadddomain THINKS test39.com is in. I have NO idea why it thinks that, but thats the way it is :-( Sincerely, Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raghu V Singh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jason Lim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 5:50 PM Subject: Re: moving domains ??????? > > Jason, > > Take a good look at the uids/gids in the /var/qmail/users/assign directory > and make sure they match to the ones in your /etc/passwd for vpopmail and > groups in /etc/groups.
