Great! It might be good to post the changes you made here, perhaps as
context diffs, so others can see them, and so (if they are generic
enough) Jacques can consider including them in a future version of
Linuxconf.

Well, if Jacques likes your changes, maybe it will :-) This is how
the product gets improved.

Hmmm. That *should* work either way. What happens if you switch to
dbm, delete the old hash database files, and rebuild things from
Linuxconf?

Agreed. Sounds like a bug?

Hmmm, looks like the wrong filename got printed into here.
/tmp/linuxconf-root can exist when you save your configuration and
such, but it is misleading here. It should say
/usr/lib/linuxconf/mailconf/

As you discovered, that part is OK. You create it if you need it.

Grin... call me a wizard... I still sometimes find hacking .cf files
easier than using the m4 stuff, because I've been doing it for longer!
But I agree it would be good if one day Linuxconf moved to using m4
based sendmail setup. Most people *do* find that easier than editing
.cf files!
