Hi all, This week i've taken it upon me, to re-install an old sparc IPC using potato. All went fine (took a couple of days, because I wasn't there when I had to hit [ENTER] (or other config-stuff...), but that's all) Anyway, today it was sendmail's turn, but help, it segfaults when running /usr/share/sendmail/updatedb at the end of the config-part. I 've tried it a couple of times, but it keeps segfaulting. On i386 this doesn't happen (just tried...), so it has to do something with the sparc-version.
Any thoughts ??
