>Number: 84621 >Category: docs >Synopsis: handbook - document the correct use of rc.conf "sendmail_enable" variable for 5.x and later >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Aug 06 16:30:16 GMT 2005 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Sam Lawrance >Release: >Organization: >Environment: >Description: The mail chapter of the handbook incorrectly specifies the method of disabling sendmail. In particular, the rc.conf variables are different for RELENG_5 and later (because sendmail_enable="NONE" is deprecated; see rc.sendmail). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Patch here: http://people.tecnik93.com/~sam/patch-handbook-mail Notes: - I don't know my way around FDP very well. - Needs review from somebody who knows their way around sendmail and its rc.conf vars. - I used "FreeBSD 5.0-STABLE and Later" as title; perhaps there is a better choice. - Since the warning (see patch) applies to all versions, I moved it to the top of the section and tweaked it a tiny bit. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
