[wplug] Redhat 9 Install issue of qmail

[Wise, Jeremey]

I have been attempting to get a qMail farm up and running. I have two
servers that I installed a stripped down version of RH 9 on and am running
into a few errors. I followed the Life with Qmail to a "t" and used the
posted Red Hat 9 patch file they reference. It seemed to work for most of
the install except the "checkpassword" utility I need to get POP3 auth
working.

Their was an article about checkpassword needing some modifications to the
patchfile which worked for all the other compile errors I got:("life with
qmail" patches http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/13960)

Modified with this:

Here is the file I tried to "patch" with (see modifications)

After the modifications I tried to run the patch:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I am not a programmer so I do not know how to procede.
