Im not so sure that completely removing it would be absolutely necessary. Just find the binary(ies) (sometimes in /usr/sbin and /usr/lib) and chmod 0 /path/to/sendmail. But you definitely definitely need to make sure you chmod the binary as something besides 4555 (which is what it is) >- install exim 3.13 -> I downloaded exim-3.13.tgz from ftp.freebsd.org >and pkg_add'ed it.

This question also applies to MySQL which seems >to be started thru /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh. This will automagically run at boot time as long as its executable. There is no need to edit anything else...the mere fact that that script is where it is will be ok. (one of the rc.files runs all the scripts in that directory that are executable) - Jim >Thanks for your help! > >Oh, almost forgot to mention: I'm using FreeBSD 4.0. > >Alexander Skwar >-- >Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com >Sichere Mail?
