The ebuild check the group before adding it already: if ! groupmod smmsp; then groupadd smmsp || die "problem adding group smmsp" fi Do you have shadow installed? Do you have the groupmod binary installed on the system?
hm. yes, i have shadow installed.

No, it's not. Could you try 'groupmod smmsp' as root and see what you get?
(In reply to comment #3) > No, it's not. Could you try 'groupmod smmsp' as root and see what you get? this i run like root! >root@localhost:/$ groupmod smmsp >Broken pipe i got just - Broken pipe. and nothing else
Ah sorry, I was looking at the "$" ;). Ok that's broken, can you paste your /etc/pam.d/groupmod if any? Have you tried re-emerging shadow just to be sure?
quick question. Do you have /etc/init.d/nscd started? If so, try to stop it an emerge again. (I have seen some bugs in nscd that isn't resolved yet that gives errors like broken pipe and things like that on all commands that affects /etc/passwd etc.)
nscd shouldn't affect this but please try with and without and see if you get any difference.
ok. it's was my failure:-). i'd re-emerge shadow and get other resoult when installing sendmail (though groupmod smmsp say me - Broken pipe again:-)) : =========================================================== >>> Completed installing sendmail-8.13.4 into /var/tmp/portage/sendmail-8.13.4/image/ * checking 236 files for package collisions existing file /usr/bin/rmail is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.gz is not owned by this package existing file /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.5.gz is not owned by this package * spent 0.0855548381805 seconds checking for file collisions * This package is blocked because it wants to overwrite * files belonging to other packages (see messages above). * If you have no clue what this is all about report it * as a bug for this package on http://bugs.gentoo.org package mail-mta/sendmail-8.13.4 NOT merged No package files given...

unmerge sendmail and postfix, and delete manually those files. Then re-emerge the MTA you need. If you want to use both just use the mailwrapper USE flag.

1. don't try to install postfix and sendmail together without mailwrapper flag 2. don't bother about nscd if groupmod smmsp still fails The problem here is clearly related to the groupmod issue, if you solve that then sendmail will install fine. Anyway sendmail-8.13.4-r1 is being tested in the tree and it uses a smarter check. Please stick with sendmail or postfix or try using USE="mailwrapper" in order to prevent those errors. Could you paste /etc/pam.d/groupmod please?

please look at Bug 80413 about the nscd issue
yes. i saw. but i have now another bug: 4 files belongs to both packages. and when i installing second package he trying rewrite this files. ps: i using "mailwrapper" flag in USE. but he dont help to solve this issue:(
this is clearly a dupe of Bug 80413 isnt it ?
The groupmod thing is a dupe, the collision between postfix and sendmail is not. Closing this one as a dupe and opened bug 97589 bout the collision for the sake of clarity. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80413 ***
