I don't see your problem. he was on the wrong list as this is qmail-ldap
specific. he posted to the qmail-ldap list too, so nobody can tell me he
didn't know about this list. I answered anyway. I asked him if the file
mentioned in the error msg exists. if so, i requested more info than one line
of log. if not this had proven that he didn't read a single line of
documentation.
in general everybody posting questions here should have a thought who's
answering, and that these people are no paid support staff. so i can expect
that the poster has
-read the docs
-spent some thoughts one what he's writing
-spent some thoughts on what information would be needed for support
-provided full logs somewhere for download
If he only posts a single line from the log without even mentioning the file
exists and it is readable, without telling us os, qmail version, patch
version, ldap server and version, it's somehow sure that he hasn't spent any
thought on that.
Dan used a subject of "How to discourage free software support" on a mail
regarding this on the dns list. that's exactly the point IMHO.
btw, i did my first qmail installation (long tome ago...) within one hour and
without any third party documentation aside from a problem with daemontools,
i solved this with a short look to lwq. i don't know why you did not succeed,
but telling us "the docs are all so bad because i couldn't install qmail with
them" is an inadequate statement.
