Yeah I just did an upgrade to my sendmail and my sendmail.mc was not changed even though it considered a part of sendmail package. I guess if a config file is not changed from the original then the file does not even get a sendmail.mc? I have done so little packaging that I am wondering what the mechanism is. Time to read the spec file in the source rpm I guess. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
