First off, thanks to Sheldon for cc'ing me. My new job has left near zero
time for freebsd stuff the last two months. Personal note, last time I
checked sheldon I still couldn't send you mail at this address. If you could
send me an address on another mailhost I will answer your other letters re
mergemaster. :)

Mergemaster itself does not create anything. It relies entirely on
/usr/src/etc/Makefile to create the proper files and install them to the
temporary root "filesystem." So the freebsd.cf file is created wherever that
makefile tells it to be. In my experience, it is created in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/freebsd.cf if I forget to mount /usr/obj
before I run mergemaster, or if /usr/obj is an empty directory. If there is
a /usr/obj populated with the proper directory structure (as a side-effect
of a previous or currently running buildworld) then freebsd.cf is created in
it's corresponding /usr/obj directory.
I actually sent in a request to have that behaviour changed quite a while
ago since TMK that's the last thing that is created in the /usr/src tree
"sometimes," but my request was ignored. Maybe now someone will give it
another look.
Happy holidays to all,
Doug
