Actually, "make install" either sets up mailer.conf, *or* it sets up all the links, depending on the version of FreeBSD you are running. If you have to use the symlinks, doing an installworld will break things - so you need to redo them. On the other hand, after you've done an installworld, you should have the mailer.conf version, so you won't need to redo it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
