Hi all,

Just installed qmail on my first Linux server (easily converted from 
NT when I had a new project that called for a *stable* web/mail 
server :-).

I've read the install docs, and am following Dave Sill's LWQ install 
directions. When it comes time to start qmail, I get this error loop:

starting qmail:svscan
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary 
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: 
temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary 
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acuire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: 
temporary failure

What needs to be changed where to make qmail/svscan happy? 
My directories and permissions are set as described in LWQ:

Thanks,
