I'm trying to help someone with Dovecot, and it looks like this one is
a few versions behind.
They say that they're not sure if it was installed Via an RPM or a
source tarball. Dovecot is use MySQL.
This is a RHEL5 server. There are RPMs listed as installed (rpm -qa)
but I don't know how I can tell what was used to install the currently
used set up. (also asking on the Postifix list)
Is there something in a conf file or something that shows me how it
was installed?
same method as for postfix :)
more generally,
# rpm -qa
lists all the installed packages
see the rpm man page for more options/functionalities (you can check
which package "owns" a file, and you can get the list of files installed
by a pckage, ... etc).
