The 2.0.1 update went smoothly for me -- Thanks Apple. One minor problem has shown up with sendmail, mailq and newaliases. Whenever I try to use those since the update, I get this error message: Cannot read frozen config file: Not a typewriter Looking thru the 2.0.1 files, sendmail was updated. The sendmail man says little about what a frozen config file is, just that it is there. On my system, the files look like this: -rwsr-xr-x 3 root bin 135140 Jan 13 13:47 /usr/lib/sendmail* -rw-r----- 1 root bin 12044 Jan 12 19:34 /usr/lib/sendmail.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 0 Apr 10 1990 /usr/lib/sendmail.fc Where the .fc is the frozen config file. Only the sendmail file was updated with 2.0.1. Mail seems to be sent okay. Any way for me to stop the error message?

type, as root: "/usr/lib/sendmail -bz" which will generate a "new" frozen config file reflecting the state of your .cf file.

You also will have to kill the current running sendmail daemon and restart it. Or simply reboot if that's easier for you. -- Ron Flax ron@afsg.apple.com Apple Federal Systems Group
