Considering the page is pretty much a step-by-step type deal, maybe it should include information on how to build these shared libraries. I was missing libsm.a and libsmutil.a on a freshly installed 4.8 system and was able to make these as follows: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make obj && make depend && make # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil # make obj && make depend && make Just may make for a nice addition and a more pleasurable sendmail/sasl experience for those that are sticking their toes in the BSD pond for the first time? (then again, one could wonder if these people really should be focussing on sendmail -- let alone an authenticating sendmail!) Have a great day! Marcel
