Please provide an exact FHS quote, I really can't find any language to that effect, and Jeff has already quoted a footnote with the opposite requirement. > If in future sendmail will be changed for handle in diffrent way some > command line switches recognize by sendmail binary using arg[0] runed > by /usr/lib/sendmail link/symlink will allow for this program be fully > *backward compatible*. First, that would be a very unreliable way to detect the execution path. Second, sendmail breaking sendmail is just not likely, and can always be handled by pointing the alternatives symlink Fedora has at /usr/sbin/sendmail to a wrapper script. > Sorry but do not try be so silly and try disscuss correctnes or not of > FHS on this list.

Most posters in this thread seem to agree /usr/sbin/sendmail is the correct place, thus it is your task to provide convincing arguments, if not patches, if you want to change the Fedora behavior.
