Qmail Toaster and X/OS Linux Part 1Qmail Toaster and X/OS Linux Part 1

This is the first part in my experiences installing Qmail on a XOS Linux cluster. Just so you know there are some differences, mostly due to dependancies and such, between installing Qmail on a standard RHEL cluster and a XOS cluster. In this part we will cover downloading the Qmail toaster files, removing sendmail, making sure all dependancies are covered and setting up and updating/installing all needed Perl packages…

    cpan
        force install Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA
       quit

Then restart the Perl updates to finish.

The above is fairly straight forward and simple prepares the system for what we will cover Tomorrow. There is acutally very little difference in the above and the normal RHEL install steps except for the RPM related commands and packages. To be totally honest the "reload cpan" is not really needed, habit, so you can skip it if you want.

Well, hope to see you tomorrow when I post a few modified scripts, originally for RHEL Qmail toaster install, and start with the actual install of Qmail Toaster.

Have fun,
