YOU NEED TO ENABLE INETD (inetd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf) in order for any of the services located and configured therein to work... Dohhh... I have been dinking around with a new amanda installation on a server and couldn't figure out why the amanda service (incoming port 10080) wouldn't work. Well, after noticing that running netstat -a didn't reveal any running amanda service, I checked on the latest status of inetd (I had a gut feeling something was different in 5.0 RELEASE) and lo' and behold, you need to enable inetd... Make sense from a security standpoint, but I had gotten so used to it being enabled by default (can you feel me whining?)...

This is not the place you should have commented. If you have specific questions relating to the qmail installation and you are reading this posting and relating the two, you are mistaken. Please go back to the qmail howto documentation and follow the instructions. You will notice in section 1.3, the installation of daemontools is explained. If you have installed daemontools and still cannot get qmail to start (after going through the rest of the howto), then something is likely wrong with your daemontools installation. Please see DJB's daemontools website for more information on daemontools.

on freebsdbetter than netstat -a is sockstat -l4(that's a lowercase 'L'.) it's much faster than netstat -a and cleaner output.
