As a security feature, the sendmail packages on RedHat is configures so
that it will only run programs that are in /etc/smrsh. So create a
symlink to the vacation program in /etc/smrsh, or more the program
there, and change the forward file to:
\selim "|/etc/smrsh/vacation selim"
\selim "|vacation selim" may work as well, but I have never tryed it -
I try to use the full path when ever I am writing scripts that will be
run by a daemon, (Or set the path in the script.) It saves problems.
