[webmin-l] sendmail makemap fails

[Anil <rep...@gm...>]

When creating a new virtual server in virtualmin, I get this:

Creating aliases for administration user ..
.. aliases failed : makemap failed :

 /usr/sbin/makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable /etc/mail/virtusertable

at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 980.

I am not sure why it mentions aliases when it is actually mapping
virtusertable. I had modified the sendmail function to print out the
exact things its doing like this:
sub run_makemap
{
local($out);
$out = &backquote_logged("$config{'makemap_path'} $_[2] $_[1] <\"$_[0]\" 2>&1");
if ($?) { &error("makemap failed : <pre>$out $config{'makemap_path'}
$_[2] $_[1] $_[0]</pre>"); }
}


When I run the command from a terminal window, it works fine:

root@ecompo:/# /usr/sbin/makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable <
/etc/mail/virtusertable
root@ecompo:/#


What's causing the problem?
