Life with qmail smtp daemontools

2001-08-14 Thread Eric Persson 

Hi !

I've been fiddeling around to try installing qmail on my machine but
have got stuck with the smtppart. The delivering works fine, but I cant
use the machine as a smtp.

I read the http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#install-ucspi where it says
I need to install daemontools and ucspi-tcp and then create a system
startupfile.
I used the startupscript available at
http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#start-qmail but when I try to use it I
get 

[root@mailzx daemontools-0.70]# /etc/init.d/qmail start
Starting qmail
svok: fatal: unable to chdir to /service/qmail-send: file does not exist
qmail-send service not running
svok: fatal: unable to chdir to /service/qmail-smtpd: file does not
exist
qmail-smtpd service not running

I cant find any info on what those /service/qmail-send and
/service/qmail-smtpd should be, I tried to symlink them to the files in
/var/qmail/bin that has the same names, but it seems like
/service/qmail-send and /service/qmail-smtpd should be directories.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance..
eric

Go back and re-read Life with Qmail. This is covered extensively in 
the section on /var/qmail/supervise/ and symlinking the 
subdirectories to /service/, aka 2.8.2.2. The supervise scripts.

Look a little closer at Life With qmail. It's in there, promise.
