Problems with YaST+sendmail
Hi, I experienced problems with YaST and sendmail. Every time I use YaST to change the installation (Choose/Install packages), change something and leave this submenu back to the main menu, a new sendmail.cf is written. When I change something else with YaST, e.g. System administration, a warning is written, that sendmail.cf was edited by hand, and _my_ sendmail.cf is not overwritten. Here in our installation it is needed not to use the MX-record for smtp, for which I don't see a way to make that known to YaST. Also another behaviour: Using an adapted /etc/mail/linux.mc for creating a sendmail.cf file I added a define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS', `0') to /etc/mail/linux.mc. Compiling with m4, this line is not taken care of, I get exactly the same result with and without that define. Both with Solaris 2.5/2.7 it works and adds the 0 to the mailer flags. (e.g. Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuX0, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, ..) ^ It's annoying to re-install a working sendmail.cf each time I use YaST, especially as there a several linux machines in our workgroup running. Any ideas to prevent/fix these behaviours? Greetings, Christian. PS: I'm using YaST 1.05.2 on SuSE 6.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian Mudra Just remember what your mother always told you: mudra@informatik.uni-kl.de "When you open windows you let in bugs".
