========================================
# Start Qmail
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.qmail ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.qmail start
fi

# Start Samba (a file/print server for Win95/NT machines):
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.samba ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.samba
fi

# Start GPM mouse server
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
fi

# Start System V init scripts for this runlevel
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit
fi

# Start the local setup procedure
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.local
fi

# All done.
========================================

Everything upto (including) Qmail starts. All below that
spews error messages. The messages are something like "command not found" type.
When I run each script manually, they work fine.
