From: Brett Glass To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/19790: Cannot rebuild sendmail.cf without installing full source dist Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 01:26:41 -0600 By the way, it's also worth noting that the information at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#UUCPMAIL is inaccurate. FreeBSD's default .mc file is currently stored at /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc (see the top of the default sendmail.cf). This directory (and therefore the default .mc file) are not in the tarball. So, obtaining and exploding the tarball is not sufficient to let the user copy the default .mc file, edit the copy, and then rebuild and install from the same place. Currently, the path of least resistance is to install the full source distribution, but this is very wasteful if the machine does not need full source. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
