I've done the steps in the howto (and I read carefully INSTALL.* and follow them strictly before my first mail :). The result is the same: su-2.04# sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh + exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/root/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail su-2.04# env: qmail-start: Permission denied The executables are the same like this in /usr/ports/mail/qmail/work/qmail-1.03/. The same executable in the source directory starts without any problems but it is not starting the daemons. I can assume this this is normal but the error appear in the default distribution directory?! Any Idea why this happened? May be some file are missing or some permissions or ownerships are wrong? I look at man for qmail-start there are not any switches for debugging. Also I noted another strange thing. mkaliasdir was not working until I renamed user alias to qalias. I restored the user name to alias after that. Also the content of the dot files that it creates starts with & (for example &username@host.comain) is that correct? Currently my users for qmail are: alias:*:81:81:User &:/var/qmail/alias:/nonexistent qmaill:*:83:81:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent qmaild:*:82:81:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent qmailp:*:84:81:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent qmailq:*:85:82:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent qmailr:*:86:82:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent qmails:*:87:82:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent groups: qmail:*:82: qnofiles:*:81: They are created automatically from the install process and I did not modify them except alias as I described above. If it can help I can tar the src distribution with the compiled binaries and the installation directory and send them for review.
