Hi All,

I have a problem with qmail port for FreeBSD 4.1.
I installed it from the ports, but when I try to start any of the programs
from the package the result is "Permission denied"!
Example:

su-2.04# cd /var/qmail/bin
su-2.04# whoami
root
su-2.04# uname -smr
FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE i386
su-2.04# ./qmail-start
su: ./qmail-start: Permission denied
su-2.04# ls -l qmail-start
-rwx------  1 root  qmail  5340 Sep 16 22:07 qmail-start

Second example:
su-2.04# cd ../configure/
su-2.04# ./hostname
su: ./hostname: Permission denied
su-2.04# ls -l hostname
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4052 Sep 16 22:11 hostname

The situation is very complicated to me since any of those programs work
inside the compilation area.
Example:

su-2.04# cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail/work/qmail-1.03/
su-2.04# ./hostname
myserver.com

I thought that maybe the programs are different but they are not!
su-2.04# diff hostname /var/qmail/configure/hostname
su-2.04#

Then I thought that maybe the problem is because of permissions.
An started make check but the result from it is:

su-2.04# make check
./instcheck

I looked in qmail news and I found information for similar problem on linux
but there wasn't a solution!
Any suggestions?

Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.

Regards,
Rossen
