I have been using 13.10 only but after two weeks ago needed to install 12.04 to. With the default guest account I am getting other bunch of accounts as you can see:

I have used to disable guest account when installing 13.10 but have no idea what are these alias and qmail accounts for?



Other issue is that each time I try to update my 12.04 from the Update Manager or with sudo apt-get install I am getting errors like this:



The hostname -f command returned: $1



Your system needs to have a fully qualified domain name (fqdn) in

order to install the var-qmail packages.



Installation aborted.



dpkg: error processing qmail (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qmail-run:  qmail-run depends on qmail (>= 1.06-2.1); however:   Package qmail is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing qmail-run (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

                          Errors were encountered while processing:  qmail  qmail-run E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Could you advice if it will be OK to disable these accounts and maybe try to delete this qmail stuff?

Follow the steps below to remove qmail:




  1. sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove qmail-uids-gids

  2. sudo apt-get purge qmail-uids-gids



You should see the following message:



Purging this package does not remove the qmail uids and gids.  You might want to do this manually, e.g.:



# userdel alias

# userdel qmaild

# userdel qmaill

# userdel qmailp

# userdel qmailq

# userdel qmailr

# userdel qmails

# groupdel qmail

# groupdel nofiles


Use sudo userdel and sudo groupdel to do the job:



sudo userdel alias

sudo userdel qmaild

sudo userdel qmaill

sudo userdel qmailp

sudo userdel qmailq

sudo userdel qmailr

sudo userdel qmails

sudo groupdel qmail

sudo groupdel nofiles
