I'm willing to believe that a jump from 4.0-RELEASE to 4.2-STABLE would involve changes that would make the binary not work. If so, then your problem was seeijnt NO_SENDMAIL in the first place. If, on the other hand, the configuration files in /etc were trashed, that's a different matter. Those are *not* built or installed by buildworld/installworld/world. If you say how you updated the stuff in /etc, we can diagnose the problem, and tell you what you did wrong, or finger the bug that caused the problem so it can be fixed. > I actually had NO_SENDMAIL=3DTRUE in the /etc/make.conf, however my > current theory is that I should have had NO_SENDMAIL=3Dtrue. I assume > make.conf is case sensitive? No, it isn't. Having NO_SENDMAIL set to "true" (in lower case) in /etc/make.conf does exactly what it says it does in /etc/defaults/make.conf - it prevents the building or installing of the sendmail and the associated *programs*. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
