I know this has been brought up before, but I'm still having trouble, even after searching through the mailing list archives. Basically I need to get SMTP auth setup with sendmail, as I roam with my laptop quite a bit, and it's a pain to update the access db for everywhere I go. I've read the instructions on the sendmail site at: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html but it is rather sparse and not much help. I did get cyrus-sasl installed with no problems from the ports, and created a single password for myself using the saslpasswd utility. Digging through the archives of this mailing list I found this: < http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1223010+1225510+/usr/local/www/ db/text/2002/freebsd-questions/20020210.freebsd-questions > which seemed to be the easiest way to go about getting this setup. Adding the parts to make.conf is no problem. However, adding the parts to sendmail.mc confused me a bit. I assumed that it would go in: /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc which would create the proper cf file in /etc/mail. Next is recompiling sendmail. I assumed I could do this via the sources, in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail. But the Build scripts don't exist in there, and the Makefile is broken. Is this something that needs to be recompilied via a make buildworld? Or should recompiling sendmail via the ports do the trick? Running FreeBSD 4.5. Any help is greatly appreciated. -James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
