If you want to install the latest Sendmail, what do you do? (hint: it has nothing to do with mailwrapper) I'd like it to be something like: # pkg_delete sendmail; pkg_add sendmail Right now, to do a chrooted sendmail, not only do you have to remove the pre-existing sendmail: # chmod 000 /usr/sbin/sendmail /etc/sendmail.cf (etc etc) but you also have to do some things to install it chrooted someplace safe. Some of us also view the concept of having to actually change executables within the base system as something nearing criminal. I _really_ like the idea of mounting my systems RO and very secure. Changing modes on files doesn't bother me so much, but I'd prefer not to do it. The ideal situation would be where sendmail did not come installed by default. -- ...
