Probably a typo, since there was obviously some data for patch to work on.

No, the output clearly shows that qmail-smtpd.c was correctly found, so -p
problems don't factor into this.

My guess is that Charrua applied another patch before this one that
inserted a whole bunch of stuff at the top of qmail-smtpd.c, thus throwing
this patch off.  Either that, or he typo'd again and accidentally blanked
qmail-smtpd.c (it's happened to me before 8-).

Charrua, your best bet is to delete the whole source tree and unpack it
again.  If you applied more than one patch that affects qmail-smtpd.c, try
changing the order in which you apply them.

I've already solved my problem. The file qmail-smtpd.patch was
damaged. I used a new file and it worked ok.

Thanks.

Well first, if you're using gnu patch (which you should be) that command is
malformed.  If it weren't, I may guess "wrong -pnum".

'man patch'


--joshua.
