Errr. This sounds like a relnotes thing too...guess I ought to think (quickly) about this. Just so I have this straight, this problem came about because of the change to master.passwd, not because of any code change in sendmail (which, if I read my relnotes right, hasn't changed between 4.4-RELEASE and 4.5-RC).

Is this because there are fewer processes running as daemon? Bruce. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
