Cant start Canvas_init - No passwd entry for user 'UNKNOWN'

[hovan...@gmail.com]

I have canvas running, and Im trying to get the outgoing email functionality going. I cant seem to successfully start canvas_init.

 Any one know why "sudo /etc/init.d/canvas_init start" is returning "No passwd entry for user 'UNKNOWN'" Why is it doing this?
