Info about qmail
 

Hi,

what's wrong with the second result? Looks good to me.

problem is that checkpassword not installing...


make
./load checkpassword prot.o unix.a byte.a `cat \
shadow.lib` `cat crypt.lib` `cat s.lib`
/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in checkpassword.o
/lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [checkpassword] Error 1

i install the checkpassword with this command

echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc

but i did not understand from link..

modify qmail-smtpd startup. In case of

inetd: use anything like
"smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /bin/checkpassword /bin/true"

Xinetd:
###############################
#/etc/xinetd.d/qmail-smtp
###############################
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = -R /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd sever.com /bin/checkpassword /bin/true
nice = 10
}
