Hi, I noticed that the new sendmail.cf that suse installed included a noetrn setting. It didn't take me very long to change it but am I missing something? I can't see how having etrn on can hurt anything?

The only reason to disable this would be to prevent people from connecting to sendmail and doing an etrn root to find out where root's email has been aliased to. Or etrn anyone else to see how they're aliased. I can't really think of a good reason to enable it, though. To me, etrn seems like a vestige of an older, more trusting time. :) John
