Yes i know this is a know bug with Suse Box :(

do these steps... of user n group adds

-------------------------------------------------------
groupadd nofiles
useradd alias -g nofiles -d /etc/qmail/alias -s /bin/true
useradd qmaild -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
useradd qmaill -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
useradd qmailp -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
groupadd qmail
useradd qmailq -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
useradd qmailr -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
useradd qmails -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /bin/true
useradd qmaillog -g qmail -d /var/log -s /bin/true
----------------------------------------------------------

coz our rpm is based on redhat and there is a special arguement in useradd n groupadd that is understood by redhat n mandrake systems...
i.e.
useradd -r ( -r is not supported in suse dunno y  ;) )
the same is with group add ...
so its better b4 u run
./qfd ..
u create the users (dont worry regarind the already installed packages ... they will get over written)

just add these users n then run qfd ...

n u r done :D

Happy QFDing :D
