BTW, I use sources if not evident. Do I need to recompile the whole OS which includes Sendmail or is there an easier way to just update the Sendmail? The Sendmail site is not very clear on this. It does say if the new DB 4.2x is installed and the new libraries are there, it will find it and use it instead of the old DB2 & that NEWDB takes care of it if it can find the library named libdba.a or libdb.so. Advice needed and appreciated..... Best regards, Jack L. Stone
