next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The short version of this: after the entire build and installworld process the
base-SENDMAIL appeared to be fully running but was not functioning correctly, no
incoming or outgoing mail --not from the local box to the Inet and nothing IN
from the Inet until we => cd /etc/mail && make all && make install && make restart.
Given that we just did a build, installworld, what would cause SENDMAIL (base install)
to be running and not work correctly without us having to issue the above commands?
</END SHORT EXPLANATION>
===> Here are the commands we used to build from src:
/usr/bin/env -i /usr/bin/make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildworld
/usr/bin/env -i /usr/bin/make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
/usr/bin/env -i /usr/bin/make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
===> with focus on -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE
Details below ...
===> After rebooting, post installworld and mergemaster the following took place:
WORKSTATION# ps aux |grep -i sendmail
root 854 0.0 0.2 7776 4712 ?? Ss 1:34AM 0:01.92 sendmail: accepting
connections (sendmail)

root 4250 0.0 0.1 1628 1068 p1 L+ 3:11PM 0:00.02 grep -i sendmail
===> Above, SENDMAIL is running however, nothing is INcoming or OUTgoing (Inet)
===> Below, looking for something obvious; perhaps a typo or change in a config file.
WORKSTATION# cat /etc/rc.conf |grep -i sendmail

===> Lets try and fix things (SENDMAIL) by doing the following:
WORKSTATION# make all
/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4
/etc/mail/WORKSTATION.mc > /etc/mail/WORKSTATION.cf
/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4
/etc/mail/WORKSTATION.submit.mc > /etc/mail/WORKSTATION.submit.cf
WORKSTATION# make install
install -m 444 /etc/mail/WORKSTATION.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
install -m 444 /etc/mail/WORKSTATION.submit.cf /etc/mail/submit.cf
WORKSTATION# make restart
Restarting: sendmail sendmail-clientmqueue.
WORKSTATION# ps auxwww | grep -i sendmail
smmsp 4331 0.0 0.2 5924 3404 ?? Is 3:18PM 0:00.01 sendmail: Queue

root 4600 0.0 0.1 1628 1068 p1 R+ 4:21PM 0:00.00 grep -i sendmail
===> After looking at the output of ps auxwww | grep -i sendmail <== both before and
after re_making things within /etc/mail, you'll see that different instances of the
same processes are running --nothing more, nothing less. I guess a more focused
and/or additional question would be; what command, if any, did we run that wasn't run
during the build, installworld procedure in which SENDMAIL was to be included (rebuilt)?
Did we shoot ourselves in the foot -or- is there cause for concern in the buildworld
process with regards to SENDMAIL while upgrading from 6.3-p3 to 7.x-p4?
