Your /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file should look like:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
It sounds like QMAILDUID and/or NOFILESGID aren't getting set. You
don't say what platform you're on, but it's possible that "id" isn't
in the path when the script is run, or doesn't support the -u and -g
options. Try running:
id -u qmaild
If that fails, do "man id". See if your system has an "id" that will
work. Solaris, for example, has one in /usr/xpg4/bin/id. Change the
run script to specify the location of the correct "id" command, e.g.:
QMAILDUID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -g qmaild`
Talk about gratutious incompatibility...
