The M4 macro's allow you to specify the type like: > FEATURE(`virtusertable', `hash /etc/virtusertable')dnl I'm not familiar with the version on Solaris, but there *is* a difference in the various dbm things on FBSD. I forget some of the details, but the original popper patches at westnet used the "old" style, which even have different subroutine names. The "new" style supports several kinds of database formats, hash being one of them. I think the FBSD port of sendmail out-of-the-box has only support for the "new" style, so that's why I changed specifically to the "hash" in my version of the popper patches. The sendmail makemap program didn't seem to understand "-dbm" as an option - although this was based on stuff I did about 3 years ago, and things might have changed since then :-) Ditto on Ryan's other comments, tho.
