That is what is there... see below

Ok. This is strange.
od -c defaultdomain
0000000 s c i t e c h s o f t . c o m \n
0000020
me had a similar, correct output.
I ran qmail-showctl:
me: My name is www.scitechsoft.com.
defaultdomain: Default domain name is scitechsoft.com.
Which is exactly what the files say. I'm not sure where the nulls and trashed
name are coming from...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean the files above, I meant the files below (they were
missing):
control/defaulthost
control/idhost

Boy, you were right on that one ;-) Ok, when I ran qq as root, it said nothing.
I guess it just started running until I telneted in on another session and killed
it. If I ran it as admin (default login) it told me:
bash: ./qmail-queue: Operation not permitted
-rws--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 22136 Jul 20 15:00 qmail-queue
It is the *only* file in the /var/qmail/bin directory that has those
owners/permissions.
The other are all root/qmail and either 755, 711 or 700
To me that seems kind of strange. I would think that they should be owned
by one of the qmail users or the qmail group.

No. I *think* that is just the way in installed. I don't think I changed them,
but I could have...
