If you follow LWQ steps you probably wouldn't have any problem.
my "/var/qmail/rc" looks something like following:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward
./Maildir/' splogger qmail
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You should have similar file and if you follow instructions in LWQ you
should be able get it going. There is need to create a file "qmail"
in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory which can start/stop qmail and related processes.
Hope this helps
