Thanks again for the help y'all gave me about my problem!
Many folks gave me advice on how to fix my problem... and it's been fixed!
The problem was a typo I made *early* on in the install: I set the
permissions to /var/qmail to 655, not 755. Subsequently, nothing in the
directories would execute!
The folks who recommended that I use troff were very helpful indeed, as
then I had a log to view to try to track down the problem.
I realize that this is not a bug, and I'm not expecting djb to do anything
about this, but if you're listening "O Great One" you may want to add a
quick check to the /var/qmail permissions in qmail-check for idiots like
me, if you have the time......
I also received several suggestions on my script question. However, as I
won't be ready to implement that part of the installation for at least a
few days, I have stored those suggestions until I'm ready to tackle it. I
do thank you again for the suggestions, I feel they will be very helpful
when I'm ready to use them!
