Gerrit Pape's qmail package for Debian does this, for example. If you don't want a /var/qmail at all, you can simply edit conf-qmail and recompile: echo /usr/local/qmail > conf-qmail > how things are started. What are you talking about? qmail can be run from init.d, rc.d or whatever startup method your system uses. Of course, it is much more reliable and convient to run qmail (and any other daemon) under daemontools, but this is certainly not a requirement. > It may be secure, but > has not been updated in several years. So? Does it need to be? Dan doesn't feel the need to keep releasing new versions with more bloat. He writes software that works correctly, so users don't need to keep upgrading for bugfixes. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
