Date: 18 May 1993 13:12:12 GMT Organization: MCET - Massachusetts Corporation for Educational Telecommunications Lines: 19 Message-ID: <1tanbc$1m9@lobster.sid.mcet.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: lobster.sid.mcet.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8] Hi: I have 386bsd 0.1 at patch level 0.2.1. I know that this is not the current patch level but right now this machine is working great for all that we are using it for and I am hesitant to do anything more to it. I am now having one problem with /usr/bin/newaliases. Basically it writes about 24 bytes to /etc/aliases.db and then quits with a segmentation fault. I've been poking around in the sendmail src trying to build a new version of it but I am not a real programmer and am stuck when it starts talking about undeclared functions and such. It appears though that /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/aux/newaliases.c and the other .c files in that directory aren't getting used or built when a make of sendmail is performed. Do you all have any suggestions as to how I can get newaliases to work? Do I have to get the latest patch kit or (gulp) get into NetBSD? Thanks for all your help, past and present! -John johnj@mcet.edu
