It's now *different* anyway... what I get when I send email to majordomo is a nasty panic 13, which causes a reboot, which then loops forever. I had to ^C the sendmail daemon installation on boot up and then delete all the messages queued for sendmail and boot again to fix it. I don't have kernel dumps enabled (and the "Running FreeBSD" book is in error - there is no commented-out line in sysconfig as described for 'dumpdev') but will do so as soon as I can gracefully kick off the users. You *did* enable the POSIX-specific lines in the Makefile, yes? -Dave
