I also feel it would be very helpful if the version-string of sendmail would change to indicate the patched version. I made a mistake on some of the machines I upgraded, such that I did new buildworlds that did *not* include the latest bug-fixes. That mistake was entirely my fault, but it didn't help that when I was done I still couldn't easily tell which machines had the right version of sendmail, and which ones had the older version. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
