You also need to copy the file "redhat/mimedefang-sysconfig" from mimedefang source directory to "/etc/sysconfig/mimedefang" file. Then restart mimedefang service.

Its installed on a redhat dist. I copied the redhat init script to /etc/init.d and tried to get it to start. I get an error message that says: Starting mimedefang-multiplexor: ERROR: You must not run mimedefang-multiplexor as root. Use the -U option to set a non-root user. [FAILED] Starting mimedefang: ERROR: You must not run mimedefang as root. Use the -U option to set a non-root user. Can someone help me with the syntax of the init file so it will start mimedefang as a user named defang? Ive been reading throught the readme and man pages, but dont seem to be able to wrap my brain around the syntax. thanks, ddh --Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, preserved their neutrality." -- Dante _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
