Someone else suggested changing makefiles, but then they get updated when I cvsup. If someone is going to replace any of the provided binaries, my guess is that it would be sendmail. We have a MAKE_KERBEROS etc., what about a MAKE_SENDMAIL? Or some way to get it to not install the file if it would be overwriting a symlink? Evan
