Ah!.. well, at least it was as you described, in DOS format.  So I changed
it as suggested on the page, only now I get this error when trying to
issue the line /usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb:

tcprules: fatal: unable to parse this line: 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
/usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb (that's all on one line)
Reloaded /etc/tcp.smtp.

How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Accidentally, that entry is wrong. You don't want to delete LF (octal 
'\012'); you want to delete CR (octal '\015'). Doh.

qmail cdb problem

[James]

In one of the steps on "Life With Qmail" it suggests this:

"Allow the local host to inject mail via SMTP:
echo '127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' /etc/tcp.smtp
/usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb"

The first line (starting with echo) worked.. but the second line (starting
with /usr) gave me an error when I entered it.  Does this need to be one
long line instead of two?

You can also edit /etc/tcp.smtp with any text editor.
It should have one line looking like this:

127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Then you can compile it using this command:

tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp  /etc/tcp.smtp

I can't look at ``Life With Qmail'' at the moment, there are some
network problems between qmail.org and here.

No. What error did you get?

Did you symlink qmail to /usr/local/sbin?

I didn't enter it with the " mark.


:If you didn't actually use the " mark, then make sure you've created
:the symlink from /usr/local/sbin/qmail to /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail, as is
:described in LWQ.

Well, when I try to create the symlink for /usr/local/sbin/qmail I get
this message:

"ln: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: File exists"

Then, when I try to enter the second line(/usr/local/sbin/qmail) I get
this message:

"bash: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: No such file or directory."

So... when I actually go to /usr/local/sbin/qmail I see a file there
called qmail@  When I do an ls -la it shows me this:

qmail - /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail*

What do I need to do?  Did I miss a step somewhere?  I tried to follow
Life With Qmail step for step.

Thanks.
