Quoting Michael Kratz <mkratz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I just (yum) updated sendmail on a Redhat 7.3 box, and the RPM overwrote my sendmail.cf file and didn't create a .rpmnew or .rpmsave! Lucky I still had my custom .mc file and it didn't overwrite that.
Can you tell what was different between the old .cf and the new one? I can see it tries to "update" the sendmail.cf to comment out any references to "AutoRebuildAliases". This "update" might look more sinister than it is, or might even be more sinister than it means to be (e.g. if you run a non-standard configuration). In any case, it deletes the original without saving it... I can see where this could hose your configuration in very rare edge cases (like running out of disk space on the device while writing a file, etc).
