You are also missing some parts of Sendmail above, like: /usr/src/bin/rmail /usr/src/usr.bin/vacation /usr/src/etc/sendmail The upgrade process used by Gregory Shapiro and the normal 'buildworld' cycle takes care of all that and more. Why would you want to circumvent it, and risk breaking Sendmail?
