Stegner" Subject: Sendmail 8.12.6 install Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Have been learning FreeBSD since version 2.2.6, not a newbie but not an expert. Have been able to install and upgrade software and OS from source and ports previously OS version: 4.4 Release Sendmail: 8.11.6 I have learning Sendmail for about a year using 8..11.6. Had no problems setting up, etc. Wanted, or thought I should upgrade to 8.12.6 to try and learn about implement milter stuff. 1. CVSUP'd Sendmail 8.12.6 port a few days ago. 2. ran make in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail 3. read and followed the INSTALL instructions and associated README files. When I rebooted by system, 8.11.6 was still running. I can run 8.12.6 manually. Where I am confused: 8.11.6 install was sendmail executable in /usr/libexec/sendmail/ usr/sbin/sendmail was pointer to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper mailer.conf pointed to /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail rc.conf reflected 8.11.6 flags, etc after 8.12.6 install complete sendmail executable in /usr/local/sbin/ Is 4.4R too old to use 8.12.6 port? Is port install supposed to update rc.conf? Is port install supposed to utilize mailwrapper. Are install directories different now? , I searched and could not find answer. Have I missed a document or step? or maybe my lack of understanding. In desperation I tried std port install instructions: Make in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail Make install in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail Received the following: ===> Installing for sendmail-8.12.6_1 if ! pw groupshow smmsp; then pw groupadd smmsp -g 25; fi smmsp:*:25: if ! pw usershow smmsp; then pw useradd smmsp -g smmsp -u 25 -h - -d /nonexiste nt -s /nonexistent -c "Sendmail Queue"; fi smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent @dirrm share/sendmail: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail. adam# Any help is appreciated..
