Malcolm, The how you do it will depend on your version of sendmail which will be different on differnt versions of Solaris but the following should point you in the right direction:
/etc/default/sendmail. Add or edit the following line: OPTIONS=-ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost there may even be and SMF property setting for that not sure, Boyd would no if there was one :-) Also check out http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2005/01/06/binding-sendmail-to-the-loopback-interface/ You could edit the sendmail.cf file directly or create one from and m4 macro up to you. Also check out stuff by Glenn Brunette Solaris security Guru I was under the impression the Solaris secure by default had everything binding to the loopback device. Although I must say it doesn't seem to be as good on Solaris as OpenSolaris. cheers alan 2008/12/22 Malcolm Herbert <opensolaris.org at mjch.net>: > We have a number of Solaris hosts which have the default sendmail > install.
