Help with qmail setup (svscan error)

[cucc24]

I am following the gentoo-wiki howto in setting up a qmail server

when I get to the point of starting svscan I get the following error:

SERVICE(send), QMAILDUID(201), NOFILESGID(200) or QMAILLUID() is unset in ./run
LOG_OPTS:
LOG_DEST: /var/log/qmail/qmail-send
Error in logging setup!
Some error detected in send, sleeping for 90 seconds for safety

what do I need to do

thanks for your help for this newbie
