Hi Eric,

I'm experiencing the problem you addressed below, but I haven't figured out
how to apply your solution. I wonder if you could point out what I'm
missing.

I've downloaded the RPM you indicated and confirmed it with md5sum. I didn't
initially delete the previous file from the SRPMS directory, but the
download seems to have overwritten it anyway.

However, when I run qtp-newmodel it says that the package is up to date
(which, going by the version number, it is) and doesn't process it - as
confirmed by checking the CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_3 entry in
/var/qmail/doc/chkuser_settings.h

I think maybe "remove the existing package first" means more than deleting
the .rpm file, but when I try "rpm -e" it complains about a bunch of
dependencies.

Should I force the rpm -e, or is there a better way to get qtp-newmodel to
re-process the package. I notice in  <http://trac.shubes.net/qtp>
http://trac.shubes.net/qtp that you identify allowing the script to rebuild
packages as an outstanding enhancement :)

Thanks,

John

********************************

I'm guessing that since the variable is commented out, it doesn't exist, so
cannot be changed (We're not real certain about how chkuser is handling
this). 

 <http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/repos/SRPMS/qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.20.src.rpm>
http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/repos/SRPMS/qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.20.src.rpm is
a version of the package that contains the / character for chkuser. This is
the only change in it from the stock package. Download (wget) it into
/usr/src/qtp-upgrade/SRPMS/ (don't forget to remove the existing package
there first), then run qtp-newmodel and have it rebuild the qmail-toaster
package. That'll fix you up. 

Jake, please refresh my memory. Why is it that this '/' character hasn't
been added to the stock package? It's becoming a real PITA for me as well as
others. ;)
