Just to point out some potential issues (depending on upgrade paths, etc).
Some old sendmail configurations kept files in /etc/ while newer configurations
keep these files in /etc/mail/ instead. A similar problem might exist for some files moved from /etc/ or /etc/mail/ to /var/run et al. These changes might cause problems? Some people might have files linked or copied in multiple places because of these changes (thinking they were providing backwards compatibility or such) and this could really cause problems. In addition, the upgrade might have moved the base mc files on old systems which would cause the sendmail.mc file not to compile. If something does a "blind" update of sendmail.cf from sendmail.mc without checking for errors, it could produce a broken sendmail.cf file. I've not seen any of these problems with the latest sendmail package (but I've also not tested it much) but I did see some of these issues with the first sendmail update... IMHO, almost all the problems were caused by the first package, not the second package. The problem is everyone rushed to install the first package, and the if so, the second package can't undo all the problems the first one created... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
