I had done "make setup check" before... okay, running again..
hmmm.
install: fatal: unable to write .../bin/qmail-lspawn: text busy
make: *** [setup] Error !!!
make setup check had no problems before (just tried it again, same error.
tried qmail stop,
tried again, same result. I was able to get it to work by deleting the
files in this direcory
then running make setup. I'm guessing by the output that "make setup check"
differs only
in creating the instcheck file... anyway, the (previous) isntcheck file now
reports no
errors.

sendmail was installed as an rpm, which I removed.
there is an smtp entry in intd.conf. I'm pulling it out now
the only entry left is a
3976 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sock /usr/sbin/sock
I then rebooted. still can't telnet to 25.

okay, this is around one of those messages... not sure if the
prefixs are important... incidentally this was 2 days ago, so that
error message might be outdated:
new msg 487118
info msg 487118
starting delivery 9: msg 487118 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED]
delivery 8: failure:

etc.
note, there are occasional success message further down
last night, I got a ton of messages saying:
alert: unable to opendir todo, sleeping
the log entries for today started with:

tcpserver: status 1/40

tcpserver: end 21894 status 256
tcpserver: status 0/40... and repeats
it keeps repeting this until about 3:20 today, when I got a

tcpserver: status: 0/40
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind:$bind: address already used

thanks very much for the help...
