However, it doesn't make it easy to keep a set of different .mc files on hand for different hosts! I've added a bit of code to the Makefile that looks at the output of `hostname` and uses `hostname`.mc as the .mc file from which sendmail.cf is built. This lets an administrator take a library of .mc files from host to host; the correct one is installed according to the host name. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The code I use is as follows (replacing the line that says SENDMAIL_MC?= freebsd.mc in the original): # If the environment variable SENDMAIL_MC is defined, build cf from # that. Otherwise, try to build `hostname`.mc. If there's no such # file, fall back to freebsd.mc. .ifndef SENDMAIL_MC SENDMAIL_MC!= hostname SENDMAIL_MC:= ${SENDMAIL_MC}.mc .if !exists(${SENDMAIL_MC}) SENDMAIL_MC= freebsd.mc .endif .endif (and then continuing with INSTALL_CF= ${SENDMAIL_MC:R}.cf etc.) etc. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
