Hi all,

I've set up qmail+mysql on freebsd 4.2 using the ports collection.
compilation and installation looks fine. I have this funny feeling that my
qmail+mysql setup is somehow wrong. When I do this:

root@markus /var/qmail/bin$ ./qmail-getpw whyme
alias8181/var/qmail/alias-whymeroot@markus /var/qmail/bin$


This shouldn't happen since the following is my mailbox data:
mysql> select * from mailbox;
+----------+-----+-----+-----------+----------+---------------+-----------+
| username | uid | gid | home      | password | password_type | suspended |
+----------+-----+-----+-----------+----------+---------------+-----------+
| whyme    | 800 | 800 | /var/mail | whyme    | Password      | N         |
+----------+-----+-----+-----------+----------+---------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


Here are the things I have done:
-I've set up mysql to version 3.23.37.
-I've created a database in mysql.
-Added a user which has full access to the database.
-My processes are like these:
36449  p0- I      0:00.01 /bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --datadir=/var/db/
36478  p0- S      0:00.60
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --data
36678  p0- I      0:00.02 qmail-send
36679  p0- I      0:00.00 splogger qmail
36680  p0- I      0:00.00 qmail-lspawn |preline procmail
36681  p0- I      0:00.00 qmail-rspawn
36682  p0- I      0:00.00 qmail-clean

The funny thing is, i can't seem to find the mysql server process, even when
i do a 'ps aux'.

My aliases/ directory is quite empty:
-rw-r--r--   1 root   qmail    0 May  3 11:19 .qmail-mailer-daemon
-rw-r--r--   1 root   qmail    0 May  3 11:19 .qmail-postmaster
-rw-r--r--   1 root   qmail    0 May  3 11:19 .qmail-root

Can anyone pls advise?
