Hi, although I'm almost expect my problem not having to do with qmail at all it happens to me while I try to start qmail only. Maybe you can give me a hint whats wrong. Whenever I try to start qmail via /var/qmail/rc qmail doesn't seem to start. /var/qmail/rc is a copy from /var/qmail/boot/home Using the "nohup" command in the rc-script as LWQ tells I get the following output in nohup.out: /usr/bin/nice: exec: No such file or directory # bash --version bash --version GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386-suse-linux) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # sh --version GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386-suse-linux) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I compiled qmail via make make setup check ./config-fast wotan.arc (I just want to use it inhouse) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Cyril Bitterich
