Understood... more or less, my point was that the files I sent you were for system-wide mode. A normal user would not be using the files I sent you. It is a fine line though since it can be in either mode. The current spec file I'm using uses /usr/sbin because it's part of the system-wide tmda-install (and there is no need for personal mode).
It also just occurred to me that there should probably be some supporting documentation on how to use those files outside of what the RPM provides. contrib/tofmipd.sysconfig -> /etc/sysconfig/tofmipd contrib/tofmipd.init -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/tofmipd contrib/cgi/tmda-cgi.conf -> /etc/httpd/conf.d/tmda.conf (apache2) Also, in the tmda-cgi.conf SITE_DIR should be replace with the tmda-cgi installation path. I didn't put anything about that because the rpmbuild does it automatically. If there is a good place for this information, point me to it and I'll send you a diff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason R.
