Hello all,
Problem 1: When starting qmail under svscan via the startup script (I'm
using Life With Qmail as my guide), I get errors complaining about being
unable to acquire a lock of certain files:
Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary
failure
Supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
My guess is that this is a permission or ownership problem? I tried
chmodding the directories the lock files are in to 777 and deleted the lock
files, but no dice. Any ideas?
Problem 2: When I manually start qmail (no svscan running), I am able to
connect to port 110, but only for a moment. It immediately disconnects me
like so:
Trying my.ip.address...
Connected to dellhost.wierd.ip.address (my.ip.address)
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I am able to manually run qmail-popup like this:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword pwd
Do you think my problem has to do with my pop3 entry in inetd.conf? What
should my entry to inetd.conf look like? Thanks for any help anyone can
offer.
Gregg
