Well for one thing, when I tried to replace sendmail with postfix, I could never get yast2 to stop complaining about 'cron' depending on sendmail. Was a bit of a pita.
a little insight. HTH
Agreed - same thing happened when I removed sendmail and installed qmail instead. Everytime you try to add/install packages it will say that the dependencies fail and you need to install sendmail/(other MUA I can't remember). An idea (I have not tried this): you could get around this by building your own Sendmail RPM from the SRPMs which contains 0 files. Then you won't get that annoying message everytime you try to add a new program. Personally, I don't install enough new software on a working system via YaST to warrant bothering. Later, Jon
