Oh well, I didn't catch this one: NO_SENDMAIL & NO_UUCP in my /etc/make.conf :) But yes, this is apparently a documented bug - rmail is not part of the boot process, there is no real need for it in 'emergency' situations when /usr is not mounted yet, so no, it should not really reside in /bin. G'luck, Peter -- No language can express every thought unambiguously, least of all this one.
