One more thing I noticed here: When using the above Makefile and
NO_MAILWRAPPER is set and the link /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper exists, sendmail gets installed as
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper:
andre@voyager:/usr/sbin>ll sendmail mailwrapper
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 371756 Aug 14 20:35 mailwrapper*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 21 Aug 14 20:34 sendmail@ -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
I don't understand this since man install says:
-S Safe copy. Normally, install unlinks an existing target before
installing the new file. With the -S flag a temporary file is
used and then renamed to be the target. The reason this is safer
is that if the copy or rename fails, the existing target is left
untouched.
The -S option is not used during the install, so the file should get
unlinked before but this is obviously not the case. I have helped myself
with the following, additional path to usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile:
--- Makefile.ORI Sat Aug 4 09:07:27 2001
+++ Makefile Tue Aug 14 20:40:36 2001

afterinstall:
@if [ -d ${DESTDIR}/etc/mail -a -f ${DESTDIR}/etc/sendmail.cf -a \
! -f ${DESTDIR}/etc/mail/sendmail.cf ]; then \
I assume there are better ways of doing this -- or install is broken.
