ewww, you deleted /etc/mail, actually, with suse, sendmail normally uses /etc/mail to store its system files, whether this is the case for a tarball install I can't remember. Anyway, if as you say you reinstalled with the rpm, that is why it was readded if the tarball didn't create it. Another thing you can do is query the package with the following rpm -qif /etc/mail
which will tell you whether that path belongs (was installed) to an rpm.
/etc is the old (<= 8.9) way of doing things. /etc/mail is the new (8.9 >=) way. 8.9 "will do" both, but 8.10 doesn't even consider /etc unless you jump through hoops to do so. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
