This seemed to be the way it worked in FreeBSD 4.XX, and altho we can live with these changes for 5.XX, is there any where that we can read the reasoning for making such a change? Several things changed such as named being jailed, and this sendmail NONE/NO change. It would be nice to be able to "read" the reasoning for such changes. Jim
