Hello, I'm in the process of trying to setup qmail-ldap on FreeBSD 5.4 from the ports tree, and using http://lifewithqmail.org/ldap as my guide. Now I've followed the guide letter per letter, minue the actual install, which FreeBSD ports took care of. I get to the point where the guide suggests using qmail-conf and I go there. Here's my hang up: Qmail-Conf's page says this:
# Create the service directory by running the qmail-delivery-conf <http://www.din.or.jp/%7Eushijima/qmail-conf/qmail-delivery-conf.html> program: qmail-delivery-conf qmaill /var/qmail/service/qmail # Look at the qmail-start invocation in /var/qmail/rc. If you have been telling qmail-start to invoke some logging program, change /var/qmail/rc so that qmail-start won't invoke such a program. Typically this means removing a phrase such as ``splogger qmail'' or ``multilog t /var/log/qmail'' from /var/qmail/rc. See the qmail-start(8) manpage <http://qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-start.html> for the detail. # Tell svscan about the new service: ln -s /var/qmail/service/qmail /service Check the service status: svstat /service/qmail /service/qmail/log The output should look something like: /service/qmail: up (pid 6345) 6 seconds /service/qmail/log: up (pid 6346) 5 seconds that's where things stop working. my output is: [531/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/var/qmail/service #svstat /service/qmail /service/qmail/log/ /service/qmail: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist /service/qmail/log/: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist. So, obviously, I've missed something, I've scoured the net to try and see where i'm screwing up is, and I've been over and over the LWQ/ldap page and see nothing about the supervise directory, until of course I get to the qmail-conf stuff. I have a stock qmail setup on a NetBSD server, but I want to migrate that box over to FreeBSD 6.0 and would rather use an LDAP directory for my user accounts instead of system accounts, which is how I have things set up, my LDAP directory is all set, users added, and just waiting for Qmail-LDAP to start authenticating from it. So any thoughts would be awesome.
