tcprules fails to make the cdb file

Hi

I got this weird problem, suddenly I can't make a rules file with
tcprules program.

My rules (tcp.smtp file):
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/package/mail/qscanq/command/qscanq"


Running with strace gives this:

010604:/etc/qmail# strace tcprules /etc/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp

execve("/usr/local/bin/tcprules", ["tcprules",
"/etc/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb", "/etc/tcp.smtp"], [/* 13 vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="dcmsh010604", ...}) = 0
brk(0) = 0x8052be0
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=13115, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 13115, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40014000
close(3) = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\3 0\222"...,
1024) = 1024
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1153784, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 1166560, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40018000
mprotect(0x4012b000, 40160, PROT_NONE) = 0
old_mmap(0x4012b000, 24576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED,
3, 0x113000) = 0x4012b000
old_mmap(0x40131000, 15584, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40131000
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40014000, 13115) = 0
open("/etc/tcp.smtp", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0644) = 3
lseek(3, 2048, SEEK_SET) = 2048
read(0,


Anyone knows what's wrong, the tcprules program just halts and I need to
do a ctrl-z to get out...

Thanks
Lars

It's waiting for input. Your command should look something like:

tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp

Or, with LWQ:

qmailctl cdb
