Hello all. After a few weeks of lurking on the list I can finally turn to
you
for some quick advice. The other night as I was looking through my sendmail
aliases file (/etc/aliases), I noticed a perculiar line at the end of it
that read:

--begin--
# Person who should get root's mail
#root:                        marc
--end--

All I want to know is who is this user/alias marc? A quick look at the
/etc/passwd, shadow, group, gshadow... didn't turn up any results, which
puzzles me. Funny thing is I get mail as root fine! I am running RedHat 7.3
(Valhalla), Sendmail 8.11.6. The only ports open on the machine are 25/tcp
(Sendmail) and 6000/tcp (X11). No UDP ports open. And I don't connect to the
internet with this machine, it's just a dummy machine that sits there
waiting
for all things experimentation that may come my way ;-) I have attached a
copy of the /etc/aliases file for anyone to look at just in case. Thank you
for your time...
