I am encountering a problem with adding the qmail.lrp package to my
Dachstein-CD setup.
I have tried both loading the package by floppy and by adding it to a custom
copy of the CD. The problem manifests itself only on rebooting the router
after adding qmail to the lrpkg.cfg file.
If I load qmail manually by mounting the media and using lrpkg -i qmail all
appears to be OK although I've not yet proved email functionality I'm not
getting any errors. I can start and stop qmail using the init script. The
initial start complains that the directories /var/log/smtp and /var/log/pop3
don't exist but it creates them with no further comments. However on
rebooting the system I get through all the router configuration messages and
am just about to enter the login password when the screen fills with
scrolling messages complaining that the permissions on /var/log/smtp cannot
be changed because it does not exist. I get the same message for
/var/log/pop3 and possibly some other messages but everything is wizzing
past so fast and the only way I could find to stop it is to give it the 3
fingered salute and catch the last few messages as it shuts down.

I read Jacques user guide and can't see that I'm doing anything wrong but I
do have one observation which I don't know the implications of:

Jacques user guide states that the /etc/shadow entries should be as an
example:
alias:*:11096:0:99999:7::: 

However the Dachstein-CD already has entries of:
alias:*:10091:0:99999:7::: 

I've tried changing these but it doesn't appear to make any difference to
the problem I'm having. However which one is correct?

Anyone out there added Qmail 1.03a to Dachstein-CD 1.0.2 and got it working
without any undocumented tweaks to files? I.e. not in Jacques guide.


Regards,

Colin
