Thanks again for replying. Each time I make progress, I seem to be hitting
a new road block.
The following are the contents of my /var/qmail directory
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 10 root qmail 1024 Sep 18 17:20 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1024 Aug 28 17:52 ../
drwxr-sr-x 2 alias qmail 1024 Aug 29 07:03 alias/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 17:59 bin/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 17:59 boot/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 18:00 control/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 17:59 doc/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 17:20 list.txt
drwxr-xr-x 10 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 17:59 man/
-rwx------ 1 qmaild qmail 223 Sep 18 17:02 qt*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Aug 30 11:21 rc*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 1024 Aug 28 17:59 users/
Contents of rc file
===================
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail
Contents of qt file
===================
supervise /var/lock/qmail-smtpd tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u71 -g1001 0 25 \
rblsmtpd qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | setuidgid qmaill multilog | \
setuidgid qmaill multilog -s5000000 -n5 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd &
After switching to user qmaild, I ran the "qt" script. After a little while tinkering
with other system,
I executed "qt" again and got the message
"/usr/local/bin/setuidgid: Permission denied"
Do I need to restart the system?
I have also issued the command "telnet localhost 25" and got the following response.
Trying 127.0.0.1
telnet: Unabel to connect to remote host: Connection refused.
I have followed line by line through the spageti documentation (more like basic
programing).
Please let me know where or what I am doing wrong!!
Thank you in advance.
