Still looking for suggestions on completely uninstalling qmail. I've tried just about everything I can think of, from the clever to the brute-force, and still can't get the darn program completely uninstalled. grrr... =) Amanda
I'm seeing a rather bizarre problem with qmail, or perhaps the interaction between qmail and Mailman. I'm running Mandrake 8 with qmail 1.03, Mailman 2.0.5, apache 1.3.20, and xinetd. When I originally set up qmail, I set up the qmail and nofiles groups, and the three respective users in each group. I doublechecked the accuracy and existence of these users and groups later, when I was troubleshooting another issue (which turned out to be unrelated to users/groups), so I know that at some point, these were correct. I installed and configured Mailman, but when I went to send a test message to the mailing list, I started getting the following errors in my logs: Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 400, GOT gid 401. (Reconfigure to take 401?) qmail: 992375092.776089 delivery 3: Failure_to_exec_script._WANTED_gid_400,_GOT_gid_401.__(Reconfigure_to_take_401?)/ After much poking and prodding (trying to reconfigure mailman with a different gid, etc) I went back to look at the users and groups and saw that the "alias" user was no longer assigned to the right group. In fact, it was assigned to group 401, the existence of which appears to be limited to the details of the "alias" user. I reassigned the "alias" user to its right group, reconfigured and reinstalled mailman, and the mailing list messages were still failing, with the same error. It was at this point that I came to the conclusion that it was not in fact Mailman that was the problem, but most probably qmail. I attempted to reconfigure/reinstall qmail with no success: the alias user is now appearing in the right group, but somewhere the gid 401 is still being passed when trying to send messages to the mailing list. In frustration at this point, I removed the install directories of both Mailman and qmail, removed their source directories, removed the original tarballs, removed their users and groups .... redownloaded both programs, and started again. And I'm still getting the same error. Okay, so I know I missed something in the process of reinstalling or reconfiguring qmail. The question is, what did I forget to remove or change? Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, =) Amanda
