sendmail woes
In discussion on -stable, people have been trying to help me with a sendmail issue. The effect is for sendmail to refuse to start, no matter what, and I cannot use the Internet from that box. (I am using webmail and Windoze - sob - to send this message) One problem is that the version of sendmail and its .cf file are out of sync and I don't know how to correct this. There might be other problems I need to address. Here is the output of two investigatory commands suggested by Claus. They took AGES to complete (I went off to play patience while they ran!). Looks like the second output waited for me to provide an answer about ruleset, then gave up and gave me back my prompt (see last two lines). Hope someone can help with this mess. Thanks.

$(foo) is the same as `foo`. It runs the command foo and uses its

You want ${PS1} (curly braces, not parentheses). I think your mind has

Re: Ooops.
Quoting Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've been quietly following this thread since it started and ... I can't reproduce this behaviour. I've created and deleted I don't know how many test directories and symlinks and I can't get it to do what you're claiming it did. As root, try copying directory from one disk to another, then rm -rf directory from the copy. That seems to be what the two recent examples have in common. The only difference between the two experiences is that I was able to remove (eg) the copied bin directory without affecting the original, but suffered when trying to remove the copied home directory. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the symlink attached to home was the cause. He's absolutely correct. Without the _exact_ command that you used, it's going to be very hard to figure out what went wrong. Are you using a shell that keeps a command history (i.e. bash)? If so, can you get us the exact command that you issued? Yes - use tcsh as root. Unfortunately the history only goes so far back and lots has happened since. Sorry. However, I'd be prepared to swear on a (small) stack of bibles that the command I issued was: rm -rf home This removed /slash/var/home from /dev/ad2 as I wished, but also removed the original /usr/home on /dev/ad0. I had RTFM because I knew rm was very powerful and that undeletion was impossible. -rf is all that is required to delete a directory and any subdirectories therein, is it not? -- Brian --- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Ooops.
Are we aiming at the wrong target, here? I used the fixit CD to examine ad0s3, where my missing files reside. What I found was that (eg) /bin, /etc, /dev were full of files/directories, but /var and /usr were empty. I didn't ask dump/restore to delete anything, and did not ask rm to remove the files from /var or /usr/everything. The command I used to copy was: dump 0af - / | restore xf - Is it dump or restore that have been causing the problem? home@ on ad0s3 still links to /usr/home so that if I mount /dev/ad0s3 /mnt/other in my working system on ad2, ls /mnt/other/home shows my working home directory - a bit startling when you first see it.
