Re: Regenerating the Sendmail.cf file Anyone ?

["Greg" <greg_w bigpond com>]

Hello

This is the second time someone has mentioned this dir

cd /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf

and this file              redhat.mc


Problem is, I dont have either ???

It is a standard install using Rehat 5.0 Hurricane, sendmail is doing
everything it should, except for virtual user stuff, I have another machine
with RH5 installed (off same CD)    it also does not have any of these
directories, files

Am I missing something ?    All help appreciated, I will go off and see if I
can locate the RPM and re install, see if I get anywhere

Or should I get the file from sendmail.org, and start again ?
