What I have read says that to use the local-host-names
file is to include the "FEATURE(`use_cw_file')" in .mc
and build .cf .
After adding the option, or FEATURE(blah,blah), to the
.mc file and creating the .cf file, i didn't see any
difference between the older .cf file and the newly
created .cf file. So I was wondering if the the
original(from install) .cf file already has the
reference and what/where is it in the .mc?
The only other reference(to local-host-names) in the
default freebsd.mc file,which looks to be the .mc for
the default sendmail.cf, is the "define(`confCW_FILE',
-o /etc/mail/local-host-names')" which I understand as
being the file pointer.
If the default install sendmail.cf is suffice to use
the local-host-names files, where is it getting it's
reference, or what part of what .mc file is telling it
to. Unless I missed it, which is highly possible, the
README's and the FAQ's all point to do what I wrote in
the first paragraph.
