>Description:
Hi,
As /usr/sbin/daemon doesn't seem to support '-u' option on FreeBSD-6.4 (according to the man pages, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=daemon&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.4-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html), updating nullmailer rc script to use /usr/sbin/daemon breaks nullmailer on this release. Here is error message i get:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start
Starting nullmailer.
daemon: illegal option -- u
usage: daemon [-cf] [-p pidfile] command arguments ...

HTH,
Thanks.
>How-To-Repeat:
- update nullmailer port to nullmailer-1.05_1,1 on FreeBSD-6.4
- Trying to restart the service: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer restart should fail
