re: var-qmail-1.03-1-gnu-linux-i386 from: ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/qmail/var-qmail/ system: RH5.2, 2.0.36 The INSTALL doc. step 1. says to "mkdir /var/qmail" then step 3. says to "make setup check" which results in a Error message "mkdir: cannot make directory '/var/qmail': File exists" and the make exits without finishing its thing. If I try to proceed through the steps 1, 2, 3 then I've created a file (step 2) named "alias" in /var/qmail as: drwx------ alias nofiles 1024 alias but since the make exited prematurely no other files or directories. Now if I skip step 1. to avoid the step 3. error I've created: drwxr-sr-x alias qmail 1024 alias and the other necessary directories and files are present. Q: Should I change the permissions on the alias directory as if I made the directory with steps 1, 2, 3 or stop smoking crack? Thanks, DAN
