Problems with LWQ Install

[Larry Masters]

Hello all,  I am new to qmail. I am running Slackware 7.1 and trying to setup qmail using the instructions in LWQ. I get to the following part and I am stuck: ################################# Create the script using your editor or by downloading it with your web browser, then install it into your system's init.d directory, which should be in one of the following locations: /etc/init.d /sbin/init.d /etc/rc.d/init.d Name the script qmail. You'll also need to link the script into a couple of "rc" directories. These directories are named like rcN.d, where N is the runlevel they apply to. The intricacies of the startup directory tree are beyond the scope of this document, so if these simplified instructions don't suffice, consult your system documentation. Your rc directories will probably be in one of: /etc /sbin /etc/rc.d To create the links, execute the following commands, replacing RCDIR with the location of your system's rc directories:     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc0.d/K30qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc1.d/K30qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc2.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc4.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc5.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc6.d/K30qmail ############################################### I do not have a /init.d directory on my server so I created /etc/rc.d/init.d and continued with the setup. Could not create links...     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc0.d/K30qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc1.d/K30qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc2.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc4.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc5.d/S80qmail     ln -s ../init.d/qmail RCDIR/rc6.d/K30qmail I get no such file or directory errors Skipped this part. finished the setup tried starting with: /usr/local/sbin/qmail get /usr/local/sbin/qmail No such file or directory error. tried /etc/rd.c/init.d/qmail get /usr/local/sbin/qmail No such file or directory. tried /var/qmail/rc system hangs. Telnet in from another system I can see qmail running but main console is still froze. use crtl - c system is usable but qmail stops running. Ok I think that is about all I got. Thanks for your help, Larry Masters
