They'd be in the normal sendmail config file location, but would be named "something.m4.rpmsave" or "something.m4.rpmnew". As I understand it, if the program being updated can still use the old config file, a ".rpmnew" file would be created containing the RPM's default config file, but the original won't be disturbed. If the program being updated can't use the old config file due to some incompatibility, then the old config file is saved as the ".rpmsave" version and the RPM's default config file is used instead. The idea being that you should look at the ".rpmsave" file and make whatever changes are needed in the new config file to implement what needs to be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The Navy's a bunch of wimps!
