It should be something like, lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Jun 3 19:28 /usr/bin/newaliases -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper IIRC, in previous versions, it was a symlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail. If it were still that, things should be OK. However, if it were a _hard link_ to /usr/sbin/sendmail and it was not clobbered to be the above symlink, it could still be hiding the old version of sendmail. At least, that's my line of thought... > On Tue, 13 Jun 2000, Crist J. Clark wrote: > > On Sat, Jun 10, 2000 at 04:54:06PM -0700, keith@mail.telestream.com wrote: > > > Here is the version.
