Re: system start script
dd - Thank you! I assume it is inetd. However I moved qmail to be after inetd it didn't get qmail started either upon reboot. BTW, I have following lines in the /etc/inetd.conf: smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail -smtpd (all in one line) Does it help diagnoze?

(the script was in /.../rc3.d) Any hint? Are you sure qmail wasn't started? Maybe it started, but because you didn't "nohup" it, it was killed when the startup shell exited. Are you sure the startup script was run? Stick a: env /tmp/qmail-startup at the top of the file and reboot. Then look for /tmp/qmail-startup. BTW, I am new so I am not on your list yet. Please reply to me directly -- Thanks!! Done. -Dave
