Re: Bug in sr10.1 sendmail. PROBLEM: Running "/usr/lib/sendmail -bt" on my SR10.1 system produces a segmentation error.

Hmm, on our system, /usr/lib/sendmail -bt seems to work ok. The date on the program is Oct 21, 1988, and the program is 114057 bytes long according to an ls -l. We are running SR 10.1 (BSD) on 4500s.

PROBLEM: Running "/usr/lib/sendmail -bt"
on my SR10.1 system produces a segmentation error.
Have you run newaliases? If you do a "tb" you will probably find
that sendmail is looking at the aliases.pag and aliases.dir files
(rdb versions of aliases; these are created when you run newaliases)
Those files probably exist and are empty or contain garbage.
Running newaliases has fixed every sendmail segmentation fault I have
ever seen. (how's that for a grandiose statement?)

You have to run the program 'newaliases' on each node before sendmail
will work properly under SR10.1. We had the same problem and that
solved all segmentation errors; this was back in January. It's a shame
users remain uninformed by Apollo.

You may not have a bug. You mmight have forgotten something....
When we were setting up sendmail (no, it's still not set up right in
all ways), we had the same problem. Another person here (I won't grab
the glory) talked w/ an Apollo Engineer who used to work here at
SSEC (nice to have friends), and together they tracked it down. We
needed to create the aliases database before sendmail would be willing
to work. That's do-able by executing
/usr/ucb/newaliases
Hope it fixes you up....
