Subject: Re: PostFix - and how to make it

Chris and others -
I've now re-installed YDL 2.0 with all of the development options and
basically gotten back to where I was before.
make worked - it finished without errors. When I tried to do make install,
it asked a bunch of questions and I responded with all of the default
options. At the end though, I got the following error:
"Error: Postfix needs an entry in the passwd file.
Remember, postfix must have a dedicated user id and group id.
make: *** [install] Error 1"
So, how do I do this?
Rob
