The qmail accounts are included in the sys-apps/baselayout which adds the initial /etc/passwd to your system.  These accounts have been in there for quite some time now.

Please paste the output of emerge info to this bug.

Well crap, because I added the groups manually....It kinda doesn't give me the error 
anymore. 
 
Hrmm...it was something to the likes of 
 
no user named qmaild 
 
then it would stop i'd add qmaild and it would do the same with qmaill etc.

Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-07-30 07:05:52 UTC

marking this bug invalid as these accounts are already in the baselayout and should be available on every user's system already.
