Hello all,

After searching through the docs and the mail list archives I still 
can't find a reference to this problem so here it goes:

I'm following the directions from 
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Qmail-VMailMgr-Courier-imap-
HOWTO.html to setup Qmail with all the goodies I need for now.

I got the source RPMs and installed those where possible.  The 
qmail users and groups have been created.  No paths were changed 
from the default.

when I run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan start' I get the following:

svscan: warning: unable to stat qmail: file does not exist

and it just keeps displaying on the terminal window where I tried 
to start the daemon.  When I run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/svscan stop' I 
get the following:

Stopping svscan:                                           [  OK  ]
Stopping service pop3d: stopped.
Stopping service pop3d/log: stopped.
Stopping service qmail: svok: fatal: unable to chdir to qmail: file 
does not exist
already stopped.
Stopping service qmqpd: stopped.
Stopping service qmqpd/log: stopped.
Stopping service qmtpd: stopped.
Stopping service qmtpd/log: stopped.
Stopping service smtpd: stopped.
Stopping service smtpd/log: stopped.
Stopping service vmailmgrd: stopped.
Stopping service vmailmgrd/log: stopped.

I've looked in /var/run/messages and the only thing that gets 
logged there is:

Oct 10 11:27:00 web svscan: svscan shutdown succeeded

My question is twofold:

1.  How do I go about creating the file/directory that svscan needs?
2.  What package installed svscan so I can go in and fix the bug?  
(Namely that svscan seems to know it needs a file but doesn't 
fscking tell me what file it needs!)

As always help is greatly appreciated.  (I'm under the gun to get 
this working, our $1000+ commercial package is corrupting mail 
boxes and we're loosing mail and customer confidence.)

Chris
