Hello,

I am patching for the recent sendmail advisory:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:13.sendmail.asc

I have followed the patching instructions:

b) Execute the following commands as root:                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
# cd /usr/src                                                                                                                                                                                                       
# patch < /path/to/patch                                                                                                                                                                                            
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm                                                                                                                                                                                             
# make obj && make depend && make                                                                                                                                                                                   
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil                                                                                                                                                                                         
# make obj && make depend && make                                                                                                                                                                                   
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail                                                                                                                                                                                     
# make obj && make depend && make && make install


and now all I need to do is restart sendmail so that the new binaries are
loaded and running.

I _think_ the correct method is:

cd /etc/mail
make restart

but is that ^^^ sufficient ?  Or is there something more to do to make
sure I have no remnants of the old one running ?

Thanks.
