The other thing I don't want to do is clobber vital files on a working server or take the server down for very long. Installing Sendmail from scratch, or even rebuilding it, could clobber the .mc, .cf, aliases, et cetera. (Yes, I plan to back these up, but it'd be nice if there were an upgrade procedure that would eliminate the need for this.) It'd be nice to replace the binary, kill the task, restart, and go... nice and quick, so that users don't notice and no mail is lost or delayed appreciably. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
