start qmail

I have already used qmail on 2 unix/linux machines. Now I am setting up
qmail on a new RedHat machine (I love qmail, do I? ;-)

I followed instructions at http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#installation
for qmail-1.06, daemontools-0.76, and ucspi-tcp-0.88. Everything worked
fine.

When I tried to start qmail as in:

> /usr/bin/nohup /bin/csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'

where "/var/qmail/rc" has 2 lines:
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail' splogger qmail

-- nothing happened. No error, no qmail processes.

I also set up the xinetd as shown in
http://barriebremner.com/geek/qmailxinetd.cgi and did:

> /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

(I also tried "service qmail start")
-- Nothing happened -- No error, no qmail processes.

Now what else I should check?

Thanks,
Zhiliang
