dd - Thank you!
I assume it is inetd. However I moved qmail to be after inetd
it didn't get qmail started either upon reboot.
BTW, I have following lines in the /etc/inetd.conf:
----
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail -smtpd
----------------------------
(all in one line)
Does it help diagnoze?
