Does it bollocks! http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#AEN1402 For historical reasons, /usr/lib/sendmail must be a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/sendmail if the latter exists. [24] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#FTN.AEN1402 Some executable commands such as makewhatis and sendmail have also been traditionally placed in /usr/lib. makewhatis is an internal binary and must be placed in a binary directory; users access only catman. Newer sendmail binaries are now placed by default in /usr/sbin. Additionally, systems using a sendmail-compatible mail transfer agent must provide /usr/sbin/sendmail as a symbolic link to the appropriate executable. There are 2 other passing references to sendmail which are not relevant to this. There is no reference to not directly calling /usr/sbin/sendmail (or even calling it at all) Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ] -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
