Date: Sun 09-Sep-1989 20:22:45 From: Unknown Subject: Strange quirks of postmast, me and /etc/nu -m Has anyone else noticed that if you create a NeXT account called "postmast", it doggedly insists on pointing its login directory at the login directory for the "me" account even if you explicity specify a different login directory to /etc/nu such as, say, /xyz/postmast Is there a way around this? Also, I note that the account "me" is not found by /etc/nu -m ... is there any way of getting /etc/nu -m to recognize that it does exists? (the account definitely *does* exist at least to the point of allowing you to login to it and use passwd to change its passwd!). Thanks Joe St Sauver >From: bryant@oakhill.UUCP (Bryant Wilder)
