The directory /var/log/qmail probably has the wrong owner. If you're
following Life with Qmail, it should belong to qmaill. Try "chown qmaill
/var/log/qmail" (without the quotes).
Did you try running the Install Check Script from
http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check ? A lot of those steps look almost
alike, it's easy to get off-step or miss one.

Subject: qmail installation error
Thanks to the list I have been following the instructions for =
installation
of qmail to a T, at least I think. Now I am at the point (on the
installation instructions I am halfway through 2.9 "Test the =
installation"),
where I am to view the error messages logged by a program called
readproctile which is managed by svscan.
=20
It says to see these messages type:
# ps -ef1 | grep "service errors" | grep -v grep
=20
and I should see something like:
(they give an example of some type of error)
=20
Well, I see nothing.
=20
Then it says that sometimes it helps to run a service manually in order =
to
find configuration problems.
=20
So, I type:
=20
cd /service/qmail-smtpd/log
svc -d
./run
=20
and then I get this error:
multilog: fatal: unable to lock directory /var/log/qmail/smtpd: =
temporary
failure
=20
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
=20
Thanks for all the help, this is a dedicated LUG.
