I'm not getting any information about qmail from syslog (/var/log/messages).
It would be nice to see the errors from qmail.

Qmail starts when the server boots up,(Starting qmail: qmail-send
qmail-smtpd, just before iBCS, apache, samba and gpm starts) but ps shows no
deamons after the boot is completed.
darkstar:~# ps

IF I start qmail manually, without stopping it first, even though it looks
like it is not running, this is the error I get:
darkstar:~# qmail start
Starting qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpdsupervise: fatal: unable to acquire
lock: temporary failure
_______________________ Now if I manually Stop, then Start
__________________
darkstar:~# qmail stop
Stopping qmail: qmail-smtpd qmail-send.
darkstar:~# qmail start
Starting qmail: qmail-send qmail-smtpd.
darkstar:~# ps
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
I took out the agetty,ps,bash lines to compress the doc.

The document I am reading says to look for 4 qmail daemons.

IF I keep running the ps command, I can catch the lspawn and splogger
loading and then immediately unloading. I caught this on screen.

I read in the document, if you have problems with qmail loading and
unloading, put a
nohup in front of the supervise command. Here's the entries out of the qmail
script.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: qmail-send"
nohup supervise /var/supervise/qmail/send /var/qmail/rc |
setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail &
echo -n " qmail-smtpd"
nohup supervise /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd

This is a test from the TEST.deliver which probably is not going to work
without daemons loaded, but here it is anyway.

funny thing about all of this is, it appears to be working, but only for
mail to and from users on this box. Although it does send outbound mail
correctly. It does not receive inbound mail.
Any Ideas would be appreciated.
