RPM for 0.96

I understand that there's an rpm for qmail, caveat
being that there are pre-defined uids preconfigured.

Yes? And if so, where?

TIA

Yes, but since few people fully populate their /etc/passwd with uid's
below 100, you're probably golden (this doesn't detract from my conviction
that qmail needs configure-time uid's. Debian and RedHat absolutely
*Should* be able to co-exist. Aloong with those commercial whomever
they are's. sun's installer and sgi's installer. If anyone pays attention
to them :-).

Try ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/Incoming or
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib under either RPMS or 2.2 (for which you
need rpm 2.2 or above).

The rpm I found and used to build my own, makes sure the uid's do not
exist allready ( or at least the one I built does. ) and then suggest you
either free up the uid's or rebuild the rpm from the source.
and I belive it uses uid's 70-76 which are usually free on most linuxes.

or try:
site exec locate qmail
on ftp.redhat.com

The thing is, you see, that debian comes shipped with the necessary qmail
users already assigned to *different* numbers. This is a pain.

A much better idea!

Try the ftp.redhat.com and the Incoming or contrib ditrectories.
If this site is busy, try ftp.caldera.com/mirrors/redhat
(or it is maybe ftp.caldera.com/pub/mirrors).

Thanks everyone for the tips.
Good to have in the archives.

My partner had already d/l'd and
installed :-) 0.96
