Hi all ! I have installed the following applications : daemontools-0.53+patches-5 ucspi-tcp-0.84 MySQL-3.22.27-1 qmail-etrn-0.1f.diff qmail-1.03.tar.gz vpopmail-3.4.10 My initial script for launching qmail (/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail) follows: #!/bin/sh # # /etc/init.d/qmail : start or stop the qmail mail subsystem. # # Written by Christian Hudon # fixed by Adam McKenna :p PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/var/qmail/ezmlm:/var/qmail/popusers/bin USERID=502 # CHANGE THIS TO YOUR QMAILD UID!!! GROUPID=501 # CHANGE THIS TO YOUR NOFILES GID!!! case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting mail-transfer agent: qmail" csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' >> /dev/null supervise /var/lock/qmail-smtpd tcpserver -c 400 -q -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u$USERID -g$GROUPID 0 25 qmail-smtpd & echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping mail-transfer agent: qmail" PID=`ps -eo pid,comm | awk '{ if ($2 == "qmail-send") print $1}'` killall -TERM qmail-send svc -dx /var/lock/qmail-smtpd echo "." ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; reload|force-reload) echo "Reloading 'locals' and 'virtualdomains' control files." #PID=`ps -eo pid,comm | awk '{ if ($2 == "qmail-send") print $1}'` killall -HUP qmail-send ;; *) echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/qmail {start|stop|restart|reload}' exit 1 esac exit 0 The inetd.conf line for POP3 service follows : pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup server.bemarnet.es /var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I have the following problems: 1.- A /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop didn't works fine, so after stopping the service I must restartthe machine in order to start the service. I think that the problem is in the fact that the POP3 service is launched from inetd. How can I change this in order to start/stop both services (POP3 and SMTP) from tcpserver ? 2.- I want to remove the MySQL support for the QMail users using vpopmail (I want to use vpopmail but with .db? files for the usernames/passwords), but I don't want to lost the users or the mails in the queue. How can I do it ? Best regards, Antonio Navarro Navarro BemarNet Management [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bemarnet.es
