[NTLUG:Discuss] daemontools

[Richard Geoffrion]

What timing.   I followed the steps in LIFE WITH QMAIL and I have the QMAIL
service running, but I still get readproctitle service errors:  with a bunch
of dots everywhere.  WHAT is that all about? The dots go out past the 132nd
column.

At anyrate, I'll be playing with daemontools quite a bit here in the next
few days, so I'll just learn from the qmail example and hope I can 'dig' out
the correct answers.  Of course I'm still worried about the readproctitle
errors.  hmmm....could it have anything to do with the grsecurity kernel
patch? Any clues where I should start looking?
