I am having difficulties while trying to get Qmail to run properly on
Linux Mandrake 7.02.  I have followed "Life With Qmail"
(http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html) step by step.. and when I get to
the section:

Allow the local host to inject mail via SMTP:
echo '127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' >>/etc/tcp.smtp
/usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb

I do ok on the first part (beginning with "echo '127), but on the second
line (beginning with "/usr/local/"), I get this error when I input that
line:

bash: /usr/local/sbin/qmail: No such file or directory

So, I decide to go to /usr/local/sbin/ and I do an "ls" and in that
directory is this file:

qmail@

So then I do a "ls -la" and see this:

qmail -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail*

I am very curios at this point, so I change the directory to
/etc/rc.d/init.d and I find a qmail* file does exist.  Its properties
are -rwxr-xr-x

What the heck?  How come I get "No such file or directory" when I type
"/usr/local/sbin/qmail cdb" (without the quotes) when the file (or is
it just a link?) IS there??

Thanks for any help.
