Read the inetd man page and compare the suggested entry to the syntax required by your inetd. If they differ, you'll have to figure out the necessary adjustments from the man page or perhaps by posting a message here. Yes, this means you'll have to actually read and understand the inetd.conf entry, rather than blindly cutting and pasting. I'm not picking on you. I'm an experienced UNIX system administrator, and I still blindly cut and paste on occasion..and it bites me now and then, too. The difference between the novice and the pro is that the pro realizes it was his mistake and the novice blames the writer of the documentation he was following. >So, I guess, in that sense, I "botched" the inetd setup for smtp on my >system. Look, we know qmail-smtpd *can* be run from inetd--lots of us have done it for years. The fact that you couldn't do it implies that you didn't do something right. That doesn't mean you're an idiot, but it does mean you botched the installation. It *was* you who modified inetd.conf, right? >What "adjustments" are required? Oh, wait, if inetd became >unsupoorted after 1.03 why isn't it just stricken from the tarball >docs? Because that change alone is not sufficient to justify creating a qmail-1.04 or even a qmail-1.03.1. -Dave
