I agree. Very handy indeed. It also explains how to use tcpserver by virtue of showing some real examples. On their own, DJB's docs are too obtuse for me 8(. > wondering if the patch was BSD specific at all, or if it worked on any > box.

His instructions use the FreeBSD ports collection (a bit like Linux RPMS) and some packages (a bit like Linux RPM) to install or prepare some of the bits and pieces: >From http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml # pkg_add -r ispell # pkg_add -r gdbm # pkg_add -r autorespond # pkg_add -r setquota # cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail; make enable-qmail clean # cd /usr/ports/mail/qmailanalog; make install clean and also to create various users and groups. # pw groupadd -n vchkpw -g 90 # pw useradd -n vpopmail -u 90 -g 90 -c Vpopmail-Master -d /usr/home/vpopmail -s /sbin/nologin # pw groupadd -n www -g 91 # pw useradd -n www -u 91 -g 91 -c https -d /usr/local/www -s /sbin/nologin Also, fetch is standard with FreeBSD, but not standard *NIX. Apart from that, patching and building seems normal. It was simple to convert the toaster into a shell script, using sed or echo to hack or create config files instead of pico/vi/emacs/whatever. I have not used it completely successfully, but that is because I was trying to do the same install but with no MySQL support, intending to use only LDAP. So my bad. However, courier-imap is a PITA and will not co-operate. I find the docs impenetrable at the moment so I'm sitting back for a couple of days while I decide whether I should bend over and use MySQL or try again ;).
