Re: Sendmail.cf
mitko On friday evening I cvsup-ed from cvsup5.freebsd.org to move from mitko 4.1.1-RELEASE to 4.2-STABLE. All went Ok, but after mergemaster and mitko reboot - sendmail warns that the version of the sendmail.cf is mitko older and exits with ExitStat = 70 :-)) mitko There was and 2 errors for line 108 'Karith' as I remember and mitko something below. mitko Sorry now I cant post you more information, because it happends at home. mitko Tomorrow I can post more details. I'd like to see more details but my first thought is that you only updated the sendmail binary and not the configuration file (/etc/mail/sendmail.cf). However, sendmail will only print a warning when dealing with an old config, it will not exit.

Are you sure you didn't have freebsd.cf in the obj directory from an earlier build? Not exactly, I'm afraid; I just noticed that "stanza" at the end of my buildworld log. Is this As Per Design or did somebody goof? The "before" output is from the 29th ( before) the "after" output is from the night of Nov 1. My guess is that "freebsd.cf" is something that "used to" exist, but is now deprecated, but I'd like to hear something (more-or-lese) "official." :) I can't find anything in any documentation of in the cvs list archive. -kc To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

It does not get replaced in a make/build world. Apparently that is not the case. According to another email I got builds a sendmail.cf from /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc and installs it. There seems to be a parameter in /etc/rc.conf where one can indicate which ".mc" file to use at make world.

Sendmail needs a "compiled" (or hand-written :-) ) cf file. Same game, perhaps it has changed in -current, as there is also a wrapper for dealing with other default MTAs then sendmail and sendmail configuration files move to /etc/mail, IIRR.

According to another email I got builds a sendmail.cf from /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc and installs it. Maybe, it's something different in -current. It's in stable. sendmail.cf is built, just not installed. Unless you ask mergemaster to do it for you.

Sendmail needs a "compiled" (or hand-written :-) ) cf file. It appears (though I haven't tested it), that defining SENDMAIL_CF in /etc/make.conf controls which .cf gets built, and subsequently installed by mergemaster. Look at /usr/src/etc/sendmail/Makefile. jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

I use mergemaster and I don't recall copying that file, however my sendmail stopped working recently after I CVSupped made world. I rebuilt cf file from an mc file I had previously used and all was well, but I don't recall having this problem before. mergemaster does not install any files that you don't tell it to. However you saved yourself by the first rule of mergemaster, always have good backups. :) Doug -- "Welcome to the desert of the real." - Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, "The Matrix" To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
