Hello,
I am setting up qmail on a RedHat Linux 6.1 machine. I am using life
with qmail's installation directions. I posted a message yesterday and I
am still a little confused. I have 3 questions (for now);
QUESTION #1:
The instructions say there should be a file named INSTALL.ids in the
source directory. I couldn't find it, so per the instructions I added:
alias:*:7790:2108::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true
qmaild:*:7791:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmaill:*:7792:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailp:*:7793:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailq:*:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailr:*:7795:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmails:*:7796:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
to the /etc/passwd file.
I did the "make setup check" command and the "./config-fast
the.full.hostname" command. Both seemed to work fine.
NOW, I have a file named INSTALL.ids in the
/usr/local/src/qmail/qmail-1.03/ directory. So, should I edit that file
now?
QUESTION #2:
I am getting ready to install ucspi-tcp and daemontools, but I am not
sure what they do, or if I really need to do so. Can anyone help with
this?
QUESTION #3:
I've read forward in the instructions and I see that I will add users
like the following:
=address:user:uid:gid:directory:dash:extension:
The instructions say that the directory /var/qmail/users contains a
series of configuration files, but mine is empty (the directory contains
no files). Am I to create the config files, or will they be setup later?
I am extremely confused about this portion of the setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your patience with a
newbie.I am sure I will have more questions later.
Thanks,
Joe Millay
