Actually, I was helping a guy get qmail running on Yellow Dog Linux
(runs on PPC's, i.e. Macs), and it was failing precisely *because* he
was following the instructions exactly. The problem turned out to
be this

The memory limit was too small for tcpserver (takes about 1.5 M) to
load a copy of glibc (about 1M), so getservbyname was failing, so no
smtp service could be found.
Dave, you should make clear that 2000000 may need adjusting. This
would likely have failed on my new Sun Ultra 5's as well, although I
use my own scripts there, so I've never actually tried it.
