i hope i am doing this right?
please excuse a newcomer to the linux/qmail scene
after 20 years with PCs/DOS/Win, i am now trying to help with something
completely new

system is a PC with RedHat ver 6.2
trying to install qmail, with LWQ in left hand and mouse in right hand
files are qmail-1.03,ucspi-tcp-0.88,daemontools-0.70

generally found the LWQ very hand-holding, but having got to the end (page 23)
cannot get qmail to run

on reboot, the start-up screens show:

starting qmail execvp - no such file or directory     ???

what worries me is that the history page for daemontools show that some time
back execvp was replaced with pathexec, .........is this the problem?

also i am concerned that even though the 'qmail' startup script just starts, the
check of the PATH does not show /var/qmail/bin  ??

if i try and start qmail manually, with /var/qmail/rc, i get some messages that
say thattalk abour CNAME not working  ??

sooo many questions!

(i would have never got this far without LWQ, i found the HOWTO was too brief
for a newcomer)
 
if anyone can unravel the above it would be greatly appreciated

len (the old guy)
