Can someone tell me if anything is either missing or shouldn't be there?
I'm reading through D.J.'s faq and I'm at part 9.1 about running qmail-smtpd under
tcpserver.
I installed the ucspi-tcp 0.88 package.
This is what I see in my inetd.conf file :
# do not uncomment smtp unless you *really* know what you are doing.
# smtp is handled by the sendmail daemon now, not smtpd. It does NOT
# run from here, it is started at boot time from /etc/rc.d/rc#.d.
#smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/smtpd smtpd
#nntp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.nntpd
Do I remove these lines?
..continuing...Remove the smtp line from /etc/inetd.conf, and put the two lines
tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
into your system boot scripts; replace 7770 with your qmaild uid, and replace 2108
with your nofiles gid.
I know I want to use multilog instead of splogger. Should I replace the splogger part
of the script
with multilog? And if so, please tell me what to put.
Your help is appreciated,
tony.campisi
