I had a problem with sendmail after upgrading from 4.5 to 4.6. The most likely cause is a mistake running mergemaster & mergemaster -C, which caused the following problem: jrpenn# tail /var/log/messages Jun 24 21:21:04 jrpenn named[102]: db_load could not open: localhost-v6.rev: No such file or directory Jun 24 21:21:04 jrpenn named[103]: Ready to answer queries.

Restoring a backup copy appears to have resolved this issue. I also needed to touch /var/log/auth.log after syslogd complained it was AWOL when starting up. Any ideas what caused my problem? (I can't recall reading of anyone else having problems). I had a look at /etc/mail/Makefile & noticed the make cf option. Running this created jeff@jrpenn.demon.co.uk with .mc & cf extensions. Do I only need to rename these files to create an updated sendmail.cf?, or do I only need to rename freebsd.cf? (apologies for not being brave enough to wade through the sendmail documentation). Should sendmail.cf be updated when running a new version of sendmail to take advantage of new features?. thanks Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
