Hi, I jist tried to update our smtp to 8.9.3-55. I downloaded from sendmail.org and.. guess what ... it didn't work :-( The system tells me: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 libdb.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 libnsl.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 libnsl.so.1(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by sendmail-8.9.3-55 Hmm, did I forgot to install something or do I have to upgrade another package before updating sendmail ? Okay, I know, some of you will say "What does this have to do with security", but I tried to update in order to to close relaying, to fix some DoS-attacks, and so on. Is this security-related enough ? Thanks :-)) Thanks in advance for your help. Oh, please no RTFM-replies. If I knew where to look, I would ! :-) --- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stephan M.

Looks like you need to update a little package called libc (C library files). I installed 8.9.* version of sendmail which still enabled relaying by default, even though the documentation said differently. I upgraded the node to sendmail 8.10.* beta and relaying is now denied by default, however EXPN and VRFY are enabled by default still. Personally I would recommend you install such a tool from source instead of RPM.

Has anyone seen octo(pus).c? Appears to open as many sendmail sockets as it can..
Thanks in advance for your help.

Well.. um.. I don't want to start an MTA war.. but if sendmail is
aggravatin' ya you should check out qmail.
If anything it's good educational reading.
