Smrsh and the vacation program

[John Nelson <jnelson lexonia com>]

All,

I seem to have a problem with "smrsh" and the vacation program.  I
installed "vacation" under RH 6.2 using the RH RPM and created a SMRSH
directory with a symbolic link to the vacation program in /usr/adm/sm.bin.

Everytime I send mail to vacationing people though I keep getting a
message from sendmail that says "the vacation program is unavailable to
sendmail" (or something like that).

I can't think of anything else to set up though.  The problem seems to
manifest itself before even getting to the vacation program, but can't
understand why SMRSH would be unable to forward to
/usr/adm/sm.bin/vacation.

I notice that on RH6.2 SMRSH wants a "-c" argument.  Hope sendmail knows
its supposed to use that.

Any ideas?

 -- John
