Hi Everyone,

This is my first post to the qmail-ldap mailing list. I already have LDAP and SAMBA pdc working fine. Now I want to install qmail-ldap and make it work with LDAP. I have read many tutorials on setting up qmail and I have concluded the following from them :

1. I need the basic qmail package (qmail-1.03.xxxxxxxx.tar.gz) and
2. qmail-ldap-xxxxxxxx.patch

Now I feel confused because every tutorial tries to install the same qmail package in a different way...almost all the tutorials apply different patches to the basic qmail source. In this reference I would like to ask few questions..

1. Does the basic qmail-1.03 source package get updated at all as far as patches are concerned ?

2. How do I find out if qmail is already patched with any of these patches? for instance...qmailqueue patch, rblsmtpd patch, smtp patch, base64.c patch..etc etc.... I am asking this because while patching the qmail source by using two different documentation, I got a message like "Previously patched file detected? Reverse [n]

3. .I noticed that the contents of these files as per 2 different approaches of qmail installation were totally different...Does anyone know about this ?

/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run and
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run

I just want to have qmail-ldap without vpopmail/vchkpw working with my LDAP and SAMBA...pls suggest accordingly...

Thanks and Regards,

Amit
