Yes. I forgot to say that there is nothing special in syslog, all
looks like that works well.

It looks like qmail-local parses .qmail file, because
if i chmod +x ~/.qmail it barfs in syslog standard err message (Uh-oh...)
I tried to dig in the code, what i find there:
--- qmail-local.c ---
switch(child = fork())
{
case -1:
temp_fork();
case 0:
args[0] = "/bin/sh"; args[1] = "-c"; args[2] = prog; args[3] = 0;
sig_pipedefault();
execv(*args,args);
strerr_die3x(111,"Unable to run /bin/sh: ",error_str(errno),". (#4.3.0)");
}
--- qmail-local.c ---
Looks like all works here. If qmail-local can't find /bin/sh it writes
error message to syslog. So, the problem somewhere in code?
I'm not C programmer, so i can't catch the problem here.
So i hopefully write here. Today i must install new OpenBSD box with
Qmail on it. It seems that it will be bad day for me...
