>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE (start date unknown) up to and including
	3.1-STABLE of today (26 Feb 1999).

>Description:

	freebsd.mc line 51 reads:

FEATURE(access_db, hash -o /etc/mail/access')dnl

	There should be a backtick before the word "hash".
	Without this, the /etc/sendmail.cf generated tries to
	look for the access database in "/etc/mail/access'"
	with a trailing apostrophe on the filename... and
	obviously fails to find it.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install a fresh 3.1-RELEASE system, put a list of local
	pop clients in /etc/mail/access, and watch them all get
	"Relaying denied" when trying to send mail.

>Fix:
	
	Insert a backtick before the word "hash", then rebuild
	sendmail.cf from it.
