>Number: 3676 >Category: conf >Synopsis: Sendmail not invoked with full path >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat May 24 16:20:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Gil Kloepfer Jr. >Organization: None >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386 >Environment: FreeBSD 2.2.2 using sendmail versions >= 8.8.5 (possibly others) >Description: The newer versions of sendmail contain code which allows the configuration file to be reread when a SIGHUP is sent to the sendmail process. This will only work if sendmail is invoked with the full pathname. The file /etc/rc does not invoke sendmail this way. >How-To-Repeat: Boot system with sendmail enabled. Note /var/log/maillog message regarding the manner in which sendmail was invoked. >Fix: Correct /etc/rc to invoke sendmail with the full pathname, in this case /usr/sbin/sendmail. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
