Nope, Solaris and HPUX 10.x have been using it for years and I've been using /etc/mail long before FreeBSD adopted it just because I don't like having too many unrelated files in /etc. That's also why I implemented "--with-etcdir" in ssh 1.1 (way back in '96), to be able to put it into /etc/ssh instead of /etc. We should move everything sendmail-related into /etc/mail IMO: /etc/mail: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 436 Mar 12 22:01 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2635 Mar 12 22:03 access -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 32768 Mar 12 22:03 access.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3818 Jul 25 00:42 aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32768 Jul 25 01:11 aliases.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 60 Mar 12 22:00 domains_no_numerics -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 549 Nov 18 1995 domaintable -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32768 Nov 18 1995 domaintable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4070 Mar 16 20:04 junk -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 32768 Mar 16 20:04 junk.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 12 Mar 16 19:43 junk.raw -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 589 May 11 23:41 mailertable -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32768 Jul 6 20:03 mailertable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26 Sep 18 1995 sendmail.ct -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 231 Jun 3 1997 sendmail.cw -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1110 Dec 31 1996 userdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16384 Dec 31 1996 userdb.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 20 Nov 8 1997 virtusertable -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32768 Nov 8 1997 virtusertable.db -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #62: Mon Jul 27 20:47:08 CEST 1998
