Smail troubles

1997-12-30 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes 
Hi,

I'm trying to get aliases with smail. Even the smailconfig
generated file /etc/aliases don't fit the mkaliases likes.
After renaming /etc/aliases, I had tried:
# mksort /etc/aliases.tmp | mkline  /etc/aliases 
# mkaliases
and the result is:
/usr/sbin/mkaliases: unknown file type, , for /etc/aliases
What is going wrong here? Some help, please.

PS.: the smailconfig(5) pointed in /etc/aliases doesn't exists. I couldn't
find any information on the file format, except the original path to 
the author's source location, even in the man pages. Every time one
run smailconfig, it remove the /etc/aliases file. This is below the
Debian Quality Software I would like to find in smail. 

Thanks,

[]s,
Mario O.de MenezesMany are the plans in a man's heart, but
IPEN-CNEN/SP is the Lord's purpose that prevails

mkaliases is not necessary for a plain-text alias file. You caqn get 
rid of this message by patching mkaliases a bit: 

# XXX FIXME!!!  this should be derived from current configuration
#
ALIASES_TYPE='lsearch'  

 the author's source location, even in the man pages. Every time one
 run smailconfig, it remove the /etc/aliases file. This is below the

This is a Bad Thing(tm) and you should file a bug report.

Ciao,
Martin
