-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Altough it's very understandable that you want to live close to Debian, so in case of an upgrade, you know apt and dselect will handle it correctly. But if you think about it a bit longer, you might find that just NOT installing courier imap/pop3d, will also succeed any upgrade... and since you installed qmail-ldap already from source ( I suppose ) you also have easy control over updates from qmail-ldap (and qmail-pop3d/imapd). I was using the debian qmail package, and tried to install qmail-ldap patch over it - some time ago I stopped with that completely, and now always use 'raw' source stuff. And was bitten in the back, because one day inexplainable, the qmail package for debian was updated and it wiped out my self compiled binaries ! So, to conclude: - - don't use debian qmail package - - compile your own, and install it in a directory you want (/var/qmail is fine, of course). - - don't try to 'fit in' debian's directory structure. You may, of course, make symlinks from /etc/qmail to /var/qmail/control, it makes life easier. - - use daemontools to stop and start the services, the scripts in ~boot are pretty cool Cheers, _ace PS and I am glad I got rid of courier package (quite large) and can use qmail-imapd now! website: http://www.suares.nl * http://www.qwikzite.nl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAqYcly7boE8xtIjURAvTkAJ0cnm0Ab81aQZBBwcXVz/wqxXAu9gCfW+0R GKlrc8Oqh9U2zRy3VfzcXt4= =foWr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
