Solaris gives you the choice so you have to specify what you want. However, I never saw a recommendation for 64 bits. It was quite easy to build. I only had to compile the milter portion of sendmail with `-m64'. DCC was equally easy. Can I just upgrade from 32 to 64-bit DCC executables running against the same database, or does the database format change too? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Group- -Computer and Network Services- _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
