problem in running smtp (tcpserver -S option not supported)

[jenno]

Dear Matt,

Thank you very much for your Toaster script.

I discovered a minor bug in lib/Mail/Toaster/Qmail.pm.

At routine build_smtp_run, there is a line which add a "-S" option to tcpserver to run the smtp service. I notice that this option is not a valid option for tcpserver. After removing it, the smtp service runs perfectly.

My environment is FreeBSD 4.10

Many thanks.

Stop all instances of tcpserver.

run toaster_setup.pl -s ucspi

You were running an unpatched copy.

The copy that gets installed with the toaster supports -S

Enjoy.

and this was installed using the toaster command?
while there were no other instances running?

Yep LogicX,

The PC was a new FreeBSD 4.10 system with only lynx on it pkg_info.

Before doing the toaster, I just recompiled the kernel to include IPF, and then added a IPF rules. Reboot.

I actually after doing the installation re-ran the toaster to reinstall ucspi-tcp...

Weird isn't it? But removing "-S" option it runs really well too.
