(from INSTALL in qmail-1.03 source distribution)
16. Set up qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf (all in one line):
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
17. Reboot. (Or kill -HUP your inetd and mke sure the qmail daemons
are running.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
There you have it... "make setup check" doesn't add/change that line in
inetd.conf for you, but other than that it looks pretty "out of the box" to
me. Then, to read that in conjunction with the statement on the web site IS
confusing and misleading.
Now, if this configuration isn't supported, the instructions in the
distribution need to be changed. Or something needs to change, like maybe
including tcpserver as part of the qmail distribution, if that is the
supported method. Or is there a supported method?
