>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.2.2 using sendmail versions >= 8.8.5 (possibly others)

>Description:

	The newer versions of sendmail contain code which allows the
	configuration file to be reread when a SIGHUP is sent to the
	sendmail process.  This will only work if sendmail is invoked
	with the full pathname.  The file /etc/rc does not invoke sendmail
	this way.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot system with sendmail enabled.  Note /var/log/maillog message
	regarding the manner in which sendmail was invoked.

>Fix:
	
	Correct /etc/rc to invoke sendmail with the full pathname,
	in this case /usr/sbin/sendmail.
