Here is the part from the "Life with Qmail" I got hung up on.
#!/bin/sh
# Using stdout for logging
# Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by
default
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`" accustamp
Use your editor to create the above /var/qmail/rc, then execute these
commands:
chmod 755 /var/qmail/rc
mkdir /var/log/qmail
When I did this, it just hung there. It tried to execute it, and wouldn't
give me a prompt back untill I ctrl-c 'd it. I even got up and left it there
for over 5 min, and it was still hung. Then I downloaded the script in the
next section and tried to start the other part of qmail. I got the script
from the webpage link at:
http://Web.InfoAve.net/~dsill/qmail-script.txt.
I made it excecutible, and tried to run it. It gave me an error, "Cannot
find file or directory". But the script was there? It was the weirdest
thing.
So then I went for the heck of it to the /var/qmail/bin/ and tried the
qmail-start, and that gave the same, "cannot find file or directory" error."
Is there anything I need to do differently that you know of to make this run
on a RedHat 6.0 box?
Thanks again for the response.
Scott

followed the life with qmail directions up to the Section 2.8 where
you are supposed to first try and start qmail, and RedHat won't even
recognize the qmail binary as a binary? When I try to start it with
the script or by manually, it just says, "no such file or
directory".
Exactly what command are you entering, and what is the exact error
message?
