Errr... If you are not currently running Sendmail (IE It's not installed)..

No, it's supposed to be real fast and generate copious output on your monitor detailing what files are touched by the changes of the patch. You probably missed the '<' redirection shown above. The patch(1) utility reads the diff of changes from standard input. If you don't redirect its stdin with `patch < file' it waits for input from the terminal. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Hmmm, sorry for the confusion. I didn't read the patch carefully. The correct way of applying it for 8.11.x is: # cd /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src # patch -p1 < /PATH/TO/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch I'm running the patch now, but it looks strange to me..

Usually this means I am not in a directory at the same relative path [to the source root] from which the patch was made. Back up one directory above your source root and try a few values of '-pN': -p1 .. -p3 stopping as you have if the sources are not found -- very likely you will hit the right offset and one or all of the patches will be applied successfully. You have to look at any sections which fail to determine why, and whether they are important.

A couple of questions related to the sendmail patch, etc.
Hello, A couple of quick questions... I've downloaded the 8.11.6 patch from sendmail.org, and used the instructions they provided [patch -p0 < /PATH/TO/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch], which then prompts me for 'which file to patch.' I'm not clear on which file I _need_ to patch? Or where it would be. I've read the thread on this already, and perhaps I'll try upgrading Sendmail in its entirety. But, for my amusement, how would I patch my current (working perfectly) version of Sendmail? Second question, I'd like to re-compile my Kernel and some other things that required the sources to be installed. On one machine (where I didn't install then initially), I'm having a real challenge trying to get them (chicken and egg); using sysinstall, I'm trying to install additional distributions > sources > all. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM does not seem to be working on this box, so I'm trying via ftp... but I keep receiving this message: Warning: Can't find the `4.5-RELEASE' distribution on this server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any"). Would you like to select another FTP server? Any thoughts on how to get the sources downloaded? -- Phillip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
