I am re-installing qmail to see if I can figure out the problems I am
having at getting this thing running.  Going through the steps on "Life
with qmail" I get to 2.8.5 which states this:

2.8.5. Start qmail
Finally, you can start qmail:
    /usr/local/sbin/qmail start

When I enter "/usr/local/sbin/qmail start" I get this error:
multilog: fatal: unable to lock directory /var/log/qmail%smtp: access
denied

qmail is not running when I invoke this command (at least when I do ps
-aux it doesn't show qmail running).  BUT, if I go to /var/qmail and run
./rc, qmail starts.

Why am I gettting the error when I use "qmail start"?
