I'm also having a problem with supervise. I setup QMAIL following LWQ, and
it's working OK, but in order to get it to work, I had to add a pop3 line to
inetd.conf. It's been working that way for a few months, but now I need to
setup POP before SMTP. I tried writing my own setup to work with inetd, but
I can't seem to get the IP address passed through checkpasswd.
So, I went back to trying to get supervise to work. I went through LWQ
again, and made sure I had everything running OK. When I do a "qmail start"
I get this:
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
This message keeps repeating over and over until I kill the supervise
process, and, of course, connecting to port 110 I get "connection refused".
So, I'm looking to see why supervise is failing like this, and/or help on
getting the IP address of the calling client passed through checkpasswd. I
use Paul Gregg's checkpassword, so I can have multiple email only accounts
running as one system user. I did find one POP before SMTP setup that
patched checkpasswd, but I didn't think it would work with the version I'm
using.
Any advise or ideas appreciated,
