In addition, Matt Simerson maintains a collection of PERL-scripts (really CPAN-modules now) that take a more deterministic approach in producing a working qmail+vpopmail+much-else installation - on FreeBSD. But as it is said to work on Fedora, too, I'd say chances are good it also works on OpenBSD (with the silly obstacle that OpenBSD has killed all DJB-software from ports...) http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/index.shtml cheers, Rainer -- === ~ Rainer Duffner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ~ Freising - Munich - Germany ~ ~Unix - Linux - BSD - OpenSource - Security ~ ~ http://www.ultra-secure.de/~rainer/pubkey.pgp ~ ===
[vchkpw] OpenBSD configure failure
On OpenBSD 3.6, with vpopmail-5.4.9, running as root, with ls unaliased, a ./configure gives me these two errors: checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: ls -t appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken alias in your environment configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files! Check your system clock OK, my system clock is correct and a ls -lTt shows that all of the files are older then the current date/time! Plus ls -t works for me, I use it all the time. I did not see any options in ./configure --help that would appear to help in this case. Has anyone built this on OpenBSD lately? __ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
