Risking stepping in on people here :) Yes. In fact I was running a (statically linked) version I compiled on BSDI for about a year that supported long user names (that and my statically linked radiusd saved my butt when I switched from bsdi to fbsd :), of course I had to manually edit the passwd file (vipw) to change those users which sucked. The limitation is in the getpwent() call not the popper daemon. Go to 3.1-RELEASE :) > I actually intend to use the virtusertable for this system.

Not really, you just call makemap with a different option (hash instead of dbm). Oh and you have to make sure your sendmail.cf file references hash instead of dbm (like: Kvirthost hash /etc/sendmail/virthost or whatever). The M4 macro's allow you to specify the type like: FEATURE(`virtusertable', `hash /etc/virtusertable')dnl (Don't ask me about M4 I currently just edit the .cf file, I'll do M4 at the "next big upgrade"(TM) now that most of the features I need are standard, the rest I'll turn into macro's - but I ain't done it yet :). >-=-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-<>-=-=-=-=-=-=-< Ryan Mooney Phone (602)265-9188 PCSLink ryan@pcslink.com Internet Services NT is an excellent choice for managers who need to show that they used up their fiscal year budget for hardware/software expenditures. <-=-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-><-=-=-=-=-=-=-> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
