Then for gods sake read sendmail/SECURITY from the tarball (say /usr/src/sendmail-8.12.1/sendmail/SECURITY) about the users you have to create, the permissions you have to set etc. > i was wondering while sendmail8.11.6.rpm fails to install > how 8.12 could manage to install(with sendmail8.11.6-cf), but it does, it > installs.

Right - you HAVE to rtfm first, before trying 8.12 (user / group smmsp, permissions etc) And stop your existing sendmail ... before installing and starting a new sendmail. > by the way which versions of db and m4 will be needed for > compiling sendmail 8 .12? will the versions comes with pcq linux 7.1 do? gnu m4 ... shouldnt be a hassle. Berkeley DB 3 has been around for quite some time - that does equally well. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
