About the doc re SOHO Postfix

Hi folks,

I'm following;
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SOH … urier-IMAP
to proceed.  When coming to "Spamassassin", on running;

$ sudo useradd -g 5001 spamd

useradd: unknown group 5001

Would it be "sudo useradd -u 5001 -g spamd"?

Any folk having followed this doc before please shed me some light.  TIA

B.R.

Wrong code! Suppose to add a group "spamd" with gid of 5001! Corrected! Thanks.

groupadd -g 5001 spamd

Thanks for your advice.

$ sudo groupadd -g 5001 spamd
Password:
$ sudo useradd -u 5001 -g spamd -s /sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/spamassassin -m spamd
$ sudo chown spamd:spamd /var/lib/spamassassin
All w/o complaint

Edit /etc/conf.d/spamd

$ cat /etc/conf.d/spamd

SAHOME="/var/lib/spamassassin/"
SPAMD_OPTS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --username spamd --helper-home-dir ${SAHOME} -s ${SAHOME}spamd.log --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid"

Done.

Where can I find explanation on the above 2 lines?  TIA
