restarting sendmail after patching - help needed.

2006-04-11 Thread Ensel Sharon

Hello,

I am patching for the recent sendmail advisory:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:13.sendmail.asc

I have followed the patching instructions:

b) Execute the following commands as root:  





# cd /usr/src   


# patch  /path/to/patch


# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm 


# make obj  make depend  make   


# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil 


# make obj  make depend  make   


# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail 


# make obj  make depend  make  make install


and now all I need to do is restart sendmail so that the new binaries are
loaded and running.

I _think_ the correct method is:

cd /etc/mail
make restart

but is that ^^^ sufficient ?  Or is there something more to do to make
sure I have no remnants of the old one running ?

Thanks.

Yep, that's all there is to it!
