Subject: Problems with qmail (1.03) on FreeBSD4.1


| 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
