		(install information from Mail-HOWTO on SuSE 6.3 CD 1)
		(Package installation from qmail site http://mirrors.kangaroot.net/qmail/rpms/var-qmail/)
		
		Installed shadow-utils-20000902-12.8.i386.rpm (thru YaST) (download from internet)
		Installed make (from SUSE 9.1 CD)
		Install inetd-2.0 (from SUSE 9.1 CD)
		Un-Installed postfix (thru YaST) (first did /etc/init.d/postfix stop)
		
		rpm -Uvh var-qmail-create-1.03-110patch_14_15.i386.rpm
		cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
		rpmbuild -ba var-qmail_14_15.spec
		cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586
		rpm -Uvh qmail-1.03-110patch_14_15.i586.rpm
		
		(afterwards, do some cleaning in ../packages/SPECS, ../packages/BUILD, ../redhad/SOURCES, etc. do a 'find' to show all files)

		Testing qmail
			sh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
			echo to: mylogin | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

			--> should receive a mail in the format selected in /var/qmail/boot

		Set up qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf (all on one line):
			smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
		  
		Add this script to /etc/init.d/ and set START & KILL alias in the right runlevel dir (rc3.d, rc5.d):
			
			(see file config/etc_init.d/qmail)
			
			cp config/etc_init.d/qmail /etc/init.d/qmail
			cd /etc/init.d/rc3.d
			ln -s "../qmail" S10qmail
			ln -s "../qmail" K14qmail
			cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d
			ln -s "../qmail" S10qmail
			ln -s "../qmail" K14qmail

			(vale of Sxx and Kxx must be adapted if necessary - typically take same as for sendmail)
			      
		killall -HUP inetd      to reset inetd configuration
  		/etc/rc.d/qmail start   to launch qmail  

	QPopper 
		update inetd.conf, add or uncomment the line
  
		pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/popper qpopper -s
  
		(don't know if this is mandatory)
		in /var/mail, add a symlink for each USER to its ~USER/Mailbox file. eg:
  
    			cd /var/mail
    			ln -s ~insomnia/Mailbox insomnia
    			ln -s ~isabelle/Mailbox isabelle
    			...
			(also for root)
			
			Then creates new file ~USER/Mailbox for each USER (Mailbox must be chmod 600)
			OR if a file /var/mail/USER existed, copy it first to ~USER/Mailbox before doing the symlink
  
		killall -HUP inetd    to reset inetd configuration

	Script to mount phoenix (W2K) filesystem with Samba
	
	As root:
	
	1) Setuid root /usr/bin/smbmnt (chmod 4755 /usr/bin/smbmnt)
	
	2) Create phoenix mount point (mkdir /mnt/phoenix)
	
	3) Create both files below
	
	4) Use mntphoenix to mount, umntphoenix to unmount
	
	( example for phoenix / same files for unicorn but adapt smbshares )

	---- File /usr/local/bin/mntphoenix (own=root/grp=root/chmod 4755 - setuid root):

	#!/bin/sh

	smbuser="baddreams"
	mntpoint="/mnt"
	
	echo "Connection to $smbhost..."
	echo "login: $smbuser"
	read -s -p "password: " smbpwd
	echo ""
	
	for smbshare in "c" "d" "e" "f" "j" "k" "public"; do
  	echo -n "mounting //$smbhost/$smbshare... "
  	mkdir -p $mntpoint/$smbhost/$smbshare
  		smbmount //$smbhost/$smbshare $mntpoint/$smbhost/$smbshare -o username=$smbuser,password=$smbpwd>/dev/null && echo "Success!" || echo "Failed"
	done
