FreeBSD will not touch /usr/local/bin unless you install a port. It will also not touch /etc unless you explicitly ask it to by going into /usr/src/etc and doing a make install. As for sendmail, yes, doing a make world will clober sendmail, but probably with the same version you're using right now (unless you decided to be experimental and use 8.8). -- Justin T.
